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 ...

Those Transportation Security Administration requirements are drilled into every frequent flyer's head: You can carry on liquids that are only less than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) in volume each.

In collaboration with the MacCurdy Lab, we recently published a paper in Physics of Fluids titled Modeling of Contactless Bubble-bubble Interactions in Microchannels with Integrated Inertial Pumps.

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 ...

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 ...

Electrons flowing in vortices Top: Schematic experimental layout showing samples of Au (a) and WTe2 (b) together with the device used to measure current flow. Bottom: Normalized current densities ...

Scientific discovery doesn’t always require a high-tech laboratory or a hefty budget. Many people have a first-rate lab right in their own homes – their kitchen. The kitchen offers plenty of ...

YOU may think that complex equations and alcohol don’t, or perhaps shouldn’t, mix. But make your favourite cocktail and you will unknowingly encounter some of the most complex processes in fluid ...
