In a significant advance for semiconductor manufacturing, mechanical engineers created a simulation that makes it easier to choose environmentally friendly water jet and underwater ultrasound ...

Most engineers are familiar with finite-element analysis and its usefulness in structural problems, but they aren't as well versed in computational fluid dynamics (CFD). A goal plot looks like this ...

With the magnificent real images of water pouring from the sky and the after-fire fumes from a car, there is no escaping from the laws of physics in movies either! Fluid simulation in the ’50s and ...

Fluid flowing around or through a component can cause significant displacement and stress. Understanding and accounting for this fluid-structure interaction (FSI) is often important to the design.

Up until now, NVIDIA's PhysX technology hasn't been used in games all that well. Even today, it's still just a technology demo, and a technology acquisition by NVIDIA, but they continue to keep their ...

Three in one: photograph of a blue whirl flame. (Courtesy: University of Maryland) “Blue whirls” are small, spinning flames that were first spotted in 2016. Now computer simulations suggest that this ...

Balance the flow: Simulations reveal that the gut alternates between different patterns of contraction to optimize nutrient absorption while regulating the growth of bacteria inside the gut. (Courtesy ...

Ubisoft's upcoming fairytale-inspired Japanese-like role-playing game, Child of Light, uses fluid-based physics and combines 2D with 3D animations to give the game its visual style, according to the ...
