Boundary layer

In physics and fluid mechanics, a boundary layer is the thin layer of fluid in the immediate vicinity of a bounding surface formed by the fluid flowing along the surface.

Davey–Stewartson equation

In fluid dynamics, the Davey–Stewartson equation (DSE) was introduced in a paper by A. Davey and Keith Stewartson to describe the evolution of a three-dimensional wave-packet on water of finite depth.

Durham University

Durham University (legally the University of Durham) is a collegiate public research university in Durham, England, founded by an Act of Parliament in 1832 and incorporated by royal charter in 1837.

Fluid dynamics

In physics, physical chemistry and engineering, fluid dynamics is a subdiscipline of fluid mechanics that describes the flow of fluids—liquids and gases.

See Keith Stewartson and Fluid dynamics

Ginzburg–Landau equation

The Ginzburg–Landau equation, named after Vitaly Ginzburg and Lev Landau, describes the nonlinear evolution of small disturbances near a finite wavelength bifurcation from a stable to an unstable state of a system.

See Keith Stewartson and Ginzburg–Landau equation

Institute of Mathematics and its Applications

The Institute of Mathematics and its Applications (IMA) is the UK's chartered professional body for mathematicians and one of the UK's learned societies for mathematics (another being the London Mathematical Society).

James Lighthill

Sir Michael James Lighthill (23 January 1924 – 17 July 1998) was a British applied mathematician, known for his pioneering work in the field of aeroacoustics and for writing the Lighthill report, which pessimistically stated that "In no part of the field (of AI) have the discoveries made so far produced the major impact that was then promised", contributing to the gloomy climate of AI winter. Keith Stewartson and James Lighthill are academics of University College London and British fluid dynamicists.

Leslie Howarth

Leslie Howarth, FRS (23 May 1911 – 22 September 2001) was a British mathematician who dealt with hydrodynamics and aerodynamics. Keith Stewartson and Leslie Howarth are British fluid dynamicists.

Magnetohydrodynamics

Magnetohydrodynamics (MHD; also called magneto-fluid dynamics or hydro­magnetics) is a model of electrically conducting fluids that treats all interpenetrating particle species together as a single continuous medium.

See Keith Stewartson and Magnetohydrodynamics

Mathematical Tripos

The Mathematical Tripos is the mathematics course that is taught in the Faculty of Mathematics at the University of Cambridge.

See Keith Stewartson and Mathematical Tripos

Mathematics

Mathematics is a field of study that discovers and organizes abstract objects, methods, theories and theorems that are developed and proved for the needs of empirical sciences and mathematics itself.

See Keith Stewartson and Mathematics

Mayhew Prize

The Mayhew Prize is a prize awarded annually by the Faculty of Mathematics, University of Cambridge to the student showing the greatest distinction in applied mathematics, primarily for courses offered by DAMTP, but also for some courses offered by the Statistical Laboratory, in the MASt examinations, also known as Part III of the Mathematical Tripos.

Minister of Aircraft Production

The Minister of Aircraft Production was, from 1940 to 1945, the British government minister at the Ministry of Aircraft Production, one of the specialised supply ministries set up by the British Government during World War II.

See Keith Stewartson and Minister of Aircraft Production

Myocardial infarction

A myocardial infarction (MI), commonly known as a heart attack, occurs when blood flow decreases or stops in one of the coronary arteries of the heart, causing infarction (tissue death) to the heart muscle.

See Keith Stewartson and Myocardial infarction

Opera

Opera is a form of theatre in which music is a fundamental component and dramatic roles are taken by singers.

See Keith Stewartson and Opera

Professor

Professor (commonly abbreviated as Prof.) is an academic rank at universities and other post-secondary education and research institutions in most countries.

See Keith Stewartson and Professor

Reynolds number

In fluid dynamics, the Reynolds number is a dimensionless quantity that helps predict fluid flow patterns in different situations by measuring the ratio between inertial and viscous forces.

See Keith Stewartson and Reynolds number

Rowing (sport)

Rowing, often called crew in the United States, is the sport of racing boats using oars.
