Stokes’ theorem, in its original form and Cartan’s generalization, is crucial for designing magnetic fields to confine plasma (ionized gas). The paper illustrates its use, in particular to address the ...

The Nature Index 2024 Research Leaders — previously known as Annual Tables — reveal the leading institutions and countries/territories in the natural and health sciences, according to their output in ...

A characterization theorem for moments of the Stokes traction field on the bounding surface of a three-dimensional flow domain is stated and proved. Whereas the single-layer Stokes potentials lead to ...
