Burgers equation

The Burger's Equation is a special type of equation that can be used to understand how things move in lots of different places. For example, the Burger's Equation can be used to understand: how air moves around in the atmosphere (like the wind), how water moves around in a river, or how traffic moves around in a city.

Basically, the Burger's equation takes the laws of physics and breaks them down into math. It helps scientists answer questions like how fast and in which direction a thing (like a river or a traffic jam) is moving and how much energy it has.

So let's imagine a river. The Burger's equation tells us that if we know how fast the water is moving, how deep the water is, and what temperature it has, then we can figure out how it will move in the future.
