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 ...

Gain insight into fluid dynamics through numerical simulation. Go beyond theoretical analysis and experimental measurements with the power of reliable computational fluid dynamics (CFD) and heat ...

In a significant advance for semiconductor manufacturing, mechanical engineers created a simulation that makes it easier to choose environmentally friendly water jet and underwater ultrasound ...

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 ...

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 ...

Contemporary sports analytics is focused on the analysis of performance data. At Northwestern we propose to change the state of the art by adding new metrics based on, hitherto scarce, physics-based ...

Picture a drop of liquid running down a smooth incline. How does it move? It’s a seemingly simple question, but the mechanisms that control the behavior of the contact line, the curve that is the ...

The abstract expressionist paintings of Jackson Pollock reveal that the American artist was an intuitive master of the laws that govern the flow of liquids under gravity, according to a ...
