The Lab Report: Every week, The Lab Report takes a deep dive into the (research) lives of students and professors outside the classroom. Somewhere along the Mississippi River, a blissful current whips ...

The Fluid Mechanics & Fluid Power Lab is an academic teaching space for Fluid Mechanics & Fluid Power courses. The Lab includes six pneumatic frame assemblies with various components for engineering ...

In a research project that has real implications for their regular laboratory work, a pair of physicists at Brown University ...

What governs the speed at which raindrops fall, sediment settles in river estuaries, and matter is ejected during a supernova? These questions circle around one, deceitfully simple factor: the rate at ...

Tang was surprised by the time it took to drain 90% of the liquid from the wok when poured out. According to Dutta’s calculations, it takes 10 to 15 minutes, Tang said. Since this layer is so thin and ...

If you’ve ever whacked the bottom of a ketchup bottle to get that tasty tomato goop flowing, you’ve put some serious physics to work. Ketchup is a non-Newtonian fluid. So are toothpaste, yogurt, ...

The editors of Physics of Fluids (American Institute of Physics) have formally recognised the scientific excellence of a study led by Professor Dimitris Drikakis and his team at the University of ...

A study inspired by street performers making gigantic soap bubbles led to a discovery in fluid mechanics: Mixing different molecular sizes of polymers within a solution increases the ability of a thin ...

Tying a knot in a smoke ring sounds like a feat worthy of those enjoying a certain kind of cigarette. But treat smoke as an example of a fluid, and it becomes a physics problem. Now for the first time ...

The Computational Engineering Physics Laboratory at Western Michigan University (WMU) engages in computational research in multidisciplinary engineering physics. Funding from various government and ...
