Scientists shed new light on the chaotic motion of a solid body moving through a fluid. They claim to have discovered two basic mechanisms that lead to chaotic motion of the body as it interacts with ...

Researchers have developed a new theoretical model that explains macroscale fluid convection induced by plasmonic (metal) nanostructures. This work is the first to establish both theoretically and ...

Knots are not just for shoelaces and sailing lines. In the last decade, physicists have shown that swirling liquids can spontaneously tie themselves into intricate knots, and they are finally starting ...

From Bernoulli’s theorem to vortex flows, fluid mechanics labs bring textbook theory to life. Open lab manuals, creative experiments, and precise tools empower students to connect equations with ...

Fluid dynamics in rotating systems is a research field that explores how rotation and centrifugal forces influence the motion and behaviour of fluids. This area of study is pivotal in understanding a ...

I had a customer who was thermal printing strip steel. The steel is washed with solvents and blown dry. He was having a problem: When the strip's speed increased, the thermo printer would catch fire.

SEATTLE, December 2, 2019 -- Tears stream down your face. A beer flows down the side of a pint glass. Fluid mechanics is central to understanding the world around us. The beauty of fluid motion was on ...

Understanding the differences between these two lubrication methods enables engineers to make informed decisions that enhance ...
