May 12, 2022 Engineers have produced a video simulation to illustrate the complex aerodynamics around a moving car and its ...
July 11, 2023 An interdisciplinary team presents a study of the dynamics of buoyant spheres at the air-water interface. Their work reveals complex hydrodynamics involved in forming horizontal air cavities and the ...
Mar. 3, 2022 Why do large gas bubbles in viscoelastic liquids (such as polymer and protein solutions) rise so much faster than expected? An open question with great relevance for industrial production processes. ...
Apr. 5, 2021 A new study suggests that masks and a good ventilation system are more important than social distancing for reducing the airborne spread of COVID-19 in classrooms. The research comes at a critical ...
Sep. 5, 2022 People have been fascinated by bird flight for centuries, but exactly how birds can be so agile in the air remains mysterious. A new study uses modeling and aerodynamics to describe how gulls can ...
Jan. 25, 2022 Engineers use fluid dynamics simulations to study the effect of exercise at various ages on plaque formation in the arteries. The authors considered two arterial geometries, one with a bulging outer ...
Mar. 22, 2022 Scientists show a bionic approach combining features of a seagull's wing with an engineered flow control accessory, known as a Gurney flap, can greatly improve wind turbine performance. To ...
Aug. 10, 2022 An international collaboration of scientists has created and observed an entirely new class of vortices -- the whirling masses of fluid or air. A new article details laboratory studies of these ...
Aug. 26, 2021 Researchers have developed a new model that explains how turbulent puffs, like coughs, behave under different environmental conditions. They found that at environmental temperatures 15°C or lower, ...
Sep. 6, 2022 Scientists have created a model alveolar system that mimics the breathing action of the human lung and allows visualization of flow patterns within the alveoli. The chip they designed includes tubes ...
