Stochastic fluid dynamics extends classical fluid mechanics by incorporating randomness and uncertainty directly into the governing equations. This approach utilises stochastic differential equations ...

Scientific progress is not usually straightforward. Researchers pursue and abandon lines of inquiry. Results languish. Theories take decades to cohere. But sometimes the accumulation of scientific ...

Your rear differential is one of the most unappreciated parts in your car or truck. It does what might be the hardest job of all of those components, multiplying torque from your transmission and ...

The Navier-Stokes equations capture in a few succinct terms one of the most ubiquitous features of the physical world: the flow of fluids. The equations, which date to the 1820s, are today used to ...

While it’s likely seldom done, some vehicles’ maintenance schedules do include an interval for changing the differential fluid, though perhaps only under “severe service” conditions such as frequent ...

The following is an extract from our Lost in Space-Time newsletter. Each month, we hand over the keyboard to a physicist or mathematician to tell you about fascinating ideas from their corner of the ...
