In A Nutshell Scientists discovered a previously unknown form of mixing that occurs when large groups of dense particles ...

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 ...

Storm surges or collapsing dams: authentic simulations of water flows are not only important for special effects in disaster movies, but could also help to protect coastal regions. For more realistic ...

Researchers from the Indian Institute of Technology (IIT) Kanpur have found a way out of a long-unsolved problem in fluid mechanics with new studies 1, 2 that characterise ‘buoyancy-driven flows’ more ...

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 ...

Knots are everywhere—from tangled headphones to DNA strands packed inside viruses—but how an isolated filament can knot itself without collisions or external agitation has remained a longstanding ...
