UCLA Math Alum Thomas Hou ’87 and Mathematician Jiajie Chen Solves Centuries Old Fluid Equation
“Hou, later joined by Chen, took advantage of the fact that, upon closer analysis, the approximate solution from 2013 seemed to have a special structure. As the equations evolved through time, the solution displayed what’s called a self-similar pattern: Its shape later on looked a lot like its earlier shape, only re-scaled in a specific […]
