Editor’s note: The Basics department this month is an excerpt from the ISA book Flow of Industrial Fluids – Theory and Equations by Raymond Mulley. Some material in this section may seem self-evident ...

New analysis of two recently translated papers, first published in the 1850s, assesses the early methods used by Alfred Clebsch to describe the flow of incompressible fluids, and explores their impact ...

The interaction between an incompressible viscous fluid and an immersed rigid body presents a rich tapestry of physical phenomena and mathematical challenges. At its core, the problem involves the ...

The total amount of money invested in the project. The total cost includes EU contribution as well as other project costs not covered by EU funding. It is expressed in euros. Amount of money, by way ...

Standard time-marching compressible flow solvers used extensively in the aerospace industry cannot be applied incompressible flows, as the governing equations lack a time derivative in the continuity ...
