Although systems consisting of many interacting small particles can be highly complex and chaotic, some can nonetheless be described using simple theories. Does this also pertain to the world of ...

Pictured: Water whirls. Solutions to the Navier-Stokes equations make it possible to predict the behaviour of liquids under a variety of conditions, from the motion of the oceans, to the flow of blood ...

An interdisciplinary team presents a study of the dynamics of buoyant spheres at the air-water interface. Their work reveals complex hydrodynamics involved in forming horizontal air cavities and the ...

Viscous free-surface flows associated with water entry were predicted by a finite volume method incorporating a free-surface capturing model. The method was applied to simulate two- and ...

Researchers modeled the role of hydrodynamics in liquid-liquid transitions of a single-component system. They showed that domain formation is related to the density upon transition, which can be ...

Hydrodynamics is the branch of continuum mechanics that studies the motion of incompressible or weakly compressible fluids and the forces associated with that motion. It is governed fundamentally by ...

Our research is in the field of nonlinear waves, lying at the nexus of applied mathematics and physics. Mathematically, the nonlinear waves that we investigate are solutions to nonlinear, dispersive ...
