From ketchup to quicksand, non-Newtonian fluids have long fascinated and puzzled scientists. Unlike ordinary fluids, their flow properties change depending on how much force is applied, but the ...

The Lab Report: Every week, The Lab Report takes a deep dive into the (research) lives of students and professors outside the classroom. Somewhere along the Mississippi River, a blissful current whips ...

Abby Ledford, a junior pursuing a dual degree in physics and engineering at UNG, works on a fluid dynamics research project under the supervision of Dr. Patrick Bunton, head of the Department of ...

A University of Manchester researcher has developed a machine-learning method to spot sudden changes in fluid behavior, known as bifurcation points, before traditional simulations fail. The approach ...

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 ...
