The Navier-Stokes equations describe fluid flow in many everyday life situations. Newton's second law of motion describes changes in the object's speed when a force applied. The Navier-Stokes equations are equivalent to Newton's Law when…

Mechanical effects that span multiple physical scales -- such as the influence of vanishing molecular viscosity on large-scale flow structures under specific conditions -- play a critical role in real fluid systems. The spin angular…
The magnetic field of planets or stars is generated by the motion of a conducting fluid through a dynamo instability. The saturation of the magnetic field occurs through the reaction of the Lorentz force on the flow. In relation to this…
