Stokes, Flow, and the Navier–Stokes: A Deep Dive into Fluid Dynamics


Listen Later

Join us for episode 14 as we explore Sir George Stokes, the 13th Lucasian Professor, and his lasting impact on fluid dynamics. From simplifying the Navier–Stokes equations for incompressible flows to Stokes waves and Stokes' theorem, we trace how these 19th‑century ideas shape weather, blood flow, coastal engineering, and modern mathematics. We'll also touch on the remaining mysteries of the Navier–Stokes equations and why they remain a frontier of science.
