Variational principles provide a powerful and unifying framework to derive the governing equations of systems by optimising an action functional. Traditionally applied in classical mechanics via ...

Available to watch now, IUVSTA, in partnership with Agilent Technologies explores how magnetohydrodynamics can be formulated through a variational principle as a field theory In this webinar, ...

The unit assumes knowledge of elementary mechanics at the level of the unit Mechanics 1 (MATH11200), and develops the material in two ways: to deal with more advanced mechanical systems in three ...

Nematic liquid crystal flow represents a class of complex fluid dynamics where the anisotropic nature of the constituent molecules leads to rich flow behaviour. A central focus of current studies is ...
