Breaking the sound barrier sounds super dramatic, but funny enough, it turns out it's really just a number on a meter. Here's how it works (and how it feels).

The study of low Mach number limits is central to advancing our understanding of fluid dynamics under nearly incompressible conditions. In both magnetohydrodynamics (MHD) and the Navier-Stokes ...

In order to push flight technology beyond the supersonic regime, fundamental research on viscous hypersonic flow will be essential. It is widely recognized that this research must have both a strong ...

__1838: __Ernst Mach is born in the small town of Chirlitz, then part of the Austrian Empire. The scientist would go on to conduct research in many fields, but his most memorable work in aerodynamics ...
