ELI5: Explain Like I'm 5

Sergei K. Godunov

Sergei K. Godunov was a very smart man who helped people understand how things move and change in the world. He created a way to calculate and predict how air and fluids (like water) move in different situations. Imagine you have a bunch of toys in a bathtub and you fill the tub with water. When you move your hand in the water, the toys move around too. Godunov figured out a way to explain how this happens and predict what will happen next. His work helps us understand things like how the weather behaves and how water flows through pipes. So, we can say that Sergei K. Godunov was a very helpful person who made it easier for us to understand how the world works around us!
