In a study published in Physics of Fluids, the researchers used the Navier-Stokes equations—the bedrock math of fluid flows—and a few experiments to investigate the behavior of thin liquid films that ...

It may sound like the stuff of fairy tales, but in the 1950s two numerical models initially developed as a pet project by physicists led to the birth of an entirely new field of physics: computational ...

We continue our exploration of fluids and fluid dynamics. We continue our exploration of fluids and fluid dynamics. How do fluids act when they're in motion? How does pressure in different places ...

Physics of Fluids is a peer-reviewed monthly scientific journal on fluid dynamics, published by the American Institute of Physics with cooperation by the American Physical Society's Division of Fluid ...

Macroscopic fluid dynamics is usually thought to emerge from vast numbers of microscopic particles. Now, fluid-like behaviour has been observed in systems of startlingly few atoms. AMO devices also ...

A real-life forensic puzzle inspired researchers to explore the physics involved, and in Physics of Fluids, they present theoretical results revealing an interaction of the incoming vortex ring of ...

For thousands of years, gears have functioned with solid teeth to turn the wheels of the world, from chariots to clocks to ...

A connection between fluids containing self-propelling particles and the fundamentals of quantum mechanics has been discovered by Benjamin Loewe, Anton Souslov and Paul Goldbart at the Georgia ...

A study inspired by street performers making gigantic soap bubbles led to a discovery in fluid mechanics: Mixing different molecular sizes of polymers within a solution increases the ability of a thin ...

In recent decades, miniaturization technology facilitates the development of higher efficient equipment, such as electronic components, refrigeration, transportation and so on. However, increased ...

You spin me round: Two spinners inside a circular container are surrounded by liquid containing bubbles that help to visualize the flows. The left spinner is actively driven to rotate with a motor ...
