We continue our exploration of fluids and fluid dynamics. We continue our exploration of fluids and fluid dynamics. How do fluids act when they're in motion? How does pressure in different places ...

A college student in Switzerland says he’s solved a 100-year-old physics problem. The question is about an air bubble trapped in a very narrow tube of liquid, where the bubble appears to be “stuck,” ...

Dr. Maute’s research group is developing novel approaches to topology and shape optimization for nonlinear structural and coupled multi-physics problems, such as fluid-structure interaction and ...

Figure 1. A faulty flame disperser may cause the coils adjacent to the flame to absorb more heat energy than optimally designed. February 15, 2022 Heat transfer fluids are often taken for granted, ...

University of Chicago physicists have succeeded in creating a vortex knot—a feat akin to tying a smoke ring into a knot. Linked and knotted vortex loops have existed in theory for more than a century, ...
