Then came the second part—the "Momentum" term. This was where the magic (or the nightmare) lived. The scrolls taught him that every drop of water felt the push of pressure, the pull of gravity, and, most frustratingly, the "friction of itself"—.
Silas struggled with the first part of the equation: Mass can neither be created nor destroyed. If water entered a pipe, it had to come out. It seemed simple, yet as he watched the river crash against the city piers, he saw the water compress and leap, behaving like a living thing. Navier-Stokes Equations : An Introduction with ...
As the sun broke through the clouds, Silas looked at the receding tide. He realized that while the Navier-Stokes equations could describe the dance of a raindrop or the fury of a hurricane, they remained a mystery—a "Millennium Prize" of the soul. We can describe the flow, but we can never truly tame the chaos. Then came the second part—the "Momentum" term
In the coastal city of Aethelgard, the air was never truly still. To most, the wind was just a breeze, and the river was just water moving toward the sea.
