Fluid dynamics

144-year-old theory expanded in water droplet evaporation experiments

A new study reveals how a spinning vortex causes system-wide, counter-rotating wave patterns, mimicking effects that occur, but cannot be seen, in the quantum realm.

Fluid simulation at an unprecedented scale provides a new scientific toolkit for fundamental physics and applied fluid engineering.

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

New research shows that two types of turbulence coexist in everyday fluids like shampoos and ketchup, challenging long-held assumptions.
