The abstract expressionist paintings of Jackson Pollock reveal that the American artist was an intuitive master of the laws that govern the flow of liquids under gravity, according to a ...

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 ...

What was your background before you started Zenotech? I did a PhD in applied mathematics in Adelaide, South Australia, and from there I spent two years as a postdoc in the NASA microgravity programme ...

Knots are everywhere—from tangled headphones to DNA strands packed inside viruses—but how an isolated filament can knot itself without collisions or external agitation has remained a longstanding ...

Most fluid-dynamics simulations based on the non-slip boundary condition produce good results on large scales. However, previous experiments with capillary tubes have hinted that the molecules in ...

Fluid dynamics is a cornerstone of both theoretical and applied physics, addressing the motion of fluids and their interactions with boundaries and external forces. Stability analysis, a key component ...

This week, physicists at the Division of Fluid Dynamics meeting in Minneapolis, Minnesota, exhibited their best experimental images in a “gallery of fluid motion” Air vortices often form around the ...

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 ...
