How does a smooth flow suddenly become turbulent? The Reynolds number helps understand the transition.
How does water, or indeed any fluid, move? The Euler equations let us look beneath the surface and mark the beginning of modern fluid dynamics.
The mathematical equations governing fluid flow may have no known solutions, but maths still has the answers!
New research shows that ventilation is crucial and that masks are effective.
How far can virus-carrying droplets fly in different environments — from buses to supermarkets? Maths can provide some answers.
We can't let penguin awareness day pass without a look at some penguin maths.
Ocean waves are not moving walls of water. Instead, it's some kind of energy that moves along. But then, what happens to the water itself? This isn't just an idle question to ponder while watching the ocean — its answer may help protect us from it too. And it requires some sophisticated maths.
