The commonplace phenomenon of liquid drops falling from a surface is—perhaps surprisingly—not yet fully understood by ...

Researchers discovered that ink in a soap-and-milk experiment follows the path of least resistance due to surface tension ...

Fluid dynamics is the study of the motion of liquids, gases and plasmas. Flow is dependent on the intrinsic properties of the matter itself, such as compressibility, viscosity and density.

What do large crowds of people and water have in common? They both act like fluids. When crowds cheer, sway and clump ...

For phenomena like volcanic eruptions, where the shape and appearance of the smoke plume are determined by complex fluid dynamics, these physics-based techniques are essential for generating ...

“These are but a very few examples which show: fluid dynamics governs the world and the universe. And since the mathematics of this field theory are still not understood in detail, and reactions or ...

Computational methods are routinely used to solve fluid flow problems in academia and industry, alike. At Northwestern, cutting-edge and novel Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) techniques are ...

When you’re boiling water for pasta, throwing a bit of salt into the water can help it boil a little bit faster–if only by a ...

A collaboration of scientists from Tomsk Polytechnic University and the Institute of Thermophysics SB RAS has conducted a ...
