WHETHER it's the mechanics of a supernova, the ignition of an inertial confinement fusion (ICF) capsule, or the detonation of a nuclear weapon, simulating the motion of fluids is anything but simple.

The Einstein–de Haas effect, which links the spin of electrons to macroscopic rotation, has now been demonstrated in a quantum fluid by researchers at Science Tokyo. The team observed this effect in a ...

Physicists at the University of Bayreuth have investigated the so-called Basset–Boussinesq history force acting on particles in fluids. Due to the difficulty of calculating it, this force is often ...

Turbulence, the chaotic, irregular motion that causes the bumpiness we sometimes experience on an airplane, has intrigued scientists for centuries. At the Okinawa Institute of Science and Technology ...

The Einstein-de Haas effect has been observed in a quantum fluid, showing that changes in magnetization transfer angular momentum from atomic spins to collective motion. (Nanowerk News) In 1915, ...

The American Physical Society’s Division of Fluid Dynamics has announced the winning videos and posters of the 2022 Gallery of Fluid Motion. Each year, attendees of the Division’s annual meeting ...

Natural convection arises when buoyancy forces, induced by temperature differences, set a fluid in motion along a surface. In boundary layer flows, a thin thermal layer develops adjacent to heated or ...
