The human body works in complex ways—sometimes, certain motions are so small that it’s easy to miss how they might cause discomfort in the body. In this way, the surface tissues in our lungs actually ...

The irregular, swirling motion of fluids we call turbulence can be found everywhere, from stirring in a teacup to currents in the planetary atmosphere. This phenomenon is governed by the Navier-Stokes ...

Subscribe to our newsletter for the latest sci-tech news updates. In a study published in Physics of Fluids, the researchers used the Navier-Stokes equations—the bedrock math of fluid flows—and a few ...

Marathoners queuing up for a big race tend to go with the flow, surging toward the start line like a fluid. Using footage of runners moving in groups toward the start of the Chicago Marathon, ...

A connection between fluids containing self-propelling particles and the fundamentals of quantum mechanics has been discovered by Benjamin Loewe, Anton Souslov and Paul Goldbart at the Georgia ...

The first ever camera footage from inside a centrifuge has revealed a new mystery in the physics of fluids. A centrifuge is a standard piece of laboratory equipment that spins fluid samples at high ...

From keeping engines cool to ensuring smooth gear shifts, automotive fluids are the unsung heroes of vehicle performance. Understanding their physics, thermodynamics, and hydraulics reveals how small ...
