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 ...

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 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 ...

Quantum fluids are exotic states of matter that exhibit unique properties governed by the laws of quantum mechanics. These fluids, which include superfluids and superconductors, have captured the ...

If you mix cornstarch and water in the right proportions, you get “oobleck”: something that seems not-quite-liquid but also not-quite-solid. Oobleck flows and settles like a liquid when untouched, but ...

Computational fluid dynamics (CFD) is a branch of physics that utilizes numerical methods and algorithms to analyze and predict the behavior of fluids and gases under various conditions. This field ...
