Navier-Stokes

About this app

The equation behind every flow, computed live: stir dye into the field, turn the Reynolds number from viscous to turbulent, switch scenarios from cylinder to free jet. Every term of the equation can be switched off on its own — without the nonlinear transport term the vortex street collapses at once. Plus the Millennium Problem: why vortex stretching is absent in two dimensions and present in three.
