The theory of special relativity is rife with counterintuitive and surprising effects, the most famous of which are length contraction and time dilation. If an object travels at a relative speed, ...

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 ...

Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) in real-time simulations seeks to resolve fluid behaviour with sufficient physical fidelity while achieving the low latency required for interactive applications.

With the magnificent real images of water pouring from the sky and the after-fire fumes from a car, there is no escaping from the laws of physics in movies either! Fluid simulation in the ’50s and ...
