Instabilities in Fluid Motion
Susan Friedlander and Victor Yudovich
Fluid flow is governed by nonlinear equations, and as the speed of a fluid
increases, stable flow changes to turbulent flow. This article discusses some
historical and recent research in understanding how instability occurs.
Variations on the de Rham Complex
Michael Eastwood
Familiar identities with grad, div, and curl may be framed as the de Rham
complex on an open set in Euclidean space. The corresponding complex on the
three-sphere, when considered in a vector form, leads naturally to the
Bernstein-Gelfand-Gelfand complex in representation theory.
