Fluid dynamics in rotating systems is a research field that explores how rotation and centrifugal forces influence the motion and behaviour of fluids. This area of study is pivotal in understanding a ...

Using unconventional statistical mechanics to understand fluid dynamics, a professor helped solve a 150 year old physics problem of how turbulent fluids move through a pipe. In 1883 Osborne Reynolds ...

Moving a large ship involves a tangle of fluid dynamics, induced water motion, and compounding forces that would overwhelm ...

A University of Massachusetts Amherst food scientist has been awarded two USDA National Institute of Food and Agriculture grants to pursue research designed to benefit the environment and human health ...

Scientists discovered that simple liquids can snap like solids when stretched fast enough, challenging fluid physics ...

Cicadas are the soundtrack of summer, but their pee is more special than their music. Rather than sprinkling droplets, they emit jets of urine from their small frames. For years, Georgia Tech ...

Researchers who study the physics of fluids are learning why certain situations increase the risk that droplets will transmit diseases like COVID-19. At the 73rd Annual Meeting of the American ...

Fluid dynamics and mixing theory constitute a central area in applied mathematics and engineering, addressing the mechanisms by which substances are transported and homogenised in fluid flows. This ...

When Dutch artist Vincent Van Gogh produced "The Starry Night" in 1889, he is believed to have put paint to canvas to illustrate the chaotic conditions inside his own mind. Yet according to a new ...

For centuries, expert mezcal distillers have tested for “doneness” by examining the bubbles their brews produce. If the alcohol content isn’t just right—if it’s too low or too high—the bubbles go away ...
