Researchers have discovered that dense crowds can spontaneously synchronize into collective oscillations, with hundreds of ...

When humans kick swim through water, vortices form around their legs, generating the force that propels them forward. However ...

Researchers at University of Tsukuba have discovered that the structure of vortices generated around a swimmer's feet changes with increasing speed during underwater undulatory swimming. Specifically, ...

Scientists have controlled Kelvin waves in superfluid helium-4, using electric fields and nanoparticles to visualize them, ...

NPR's Ailsa Chang talks with Emily Kwong and Regina Barber of Short Wave about the fluid dynamics of crowds, an early fossil of a modern bird and new data on how people's moods change through the day.

Fluid dynamics is the study of the motion of liquids, gases and plasmas. Flow is dependent on the intrinsic properties of the matter itself, such as compressibility, viscosity and density.

Droplets of fluid have been known to hover above a hot surface, but a new experiment suggests the same can happen to tiny jets of liquid too ...

Molecular dynamics is a method that uses Newton’s equations of motion to computationally simulate the time evolution of a set of interacting atoms. Such techniques are dependent on a description ...

Geophysical fluid dynamics is the application of fluid dynamics to modelling the Earth's atmosphere and ocean, and forms the theoretical foundation of weather forecasting and climate prediction. Of ...
