Scientists have solved a long-standing contradiction in fluid dynamics, setting a new baseline for theoretical and practical research on turbulence.

The concepts behind the arrangement of sand and sugar can explain the diamond shape of two asteroids spinning millions of miles away.

Using simulations, researchers uncover a key clue as to whether hurricanes will decay or re-intensify after hitting land.

Warming oceans means hurricanes weaken more slowly and inflict more destruction farther inland, new study shows

Scientists gain a deeper understanding of turbulent and transitional pipe flows.

OIST researchers inspired by school science to crack the conundrum of planetary craters.

A twist on a textbook physics experiment sheds light on a complex phenomenon in fluid dynamics.

Researchers investigate why pebbles and boulders on Itokawa’s surface occupy separate regions.

OIST’s new experimental set-up aims to unite science and technology in the study of turbulence.

In a paper published in Physical Review Letters, Gustavo Gioia, Pinaki Chakraborty and colleagues relate the frictional drag to the eddies in a fluid.
