A team of researchers with members from several institutions in the U.S. and one in France has created a two-dimensional chiral fluid that mostly follows hydrodynamics theories. In their paper ...

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.

Our research is in the field of nonlinear waves, lying at the nexus of applied mathematics and physics. Mathematically, the nonlinear waves that we investigate are solutions to nonlinear, dispersive ...

WASHINGTON, July 11, 2023 – Inspired by the need to safeguard marine animals and promote sustainable solutions within marine environments, an interdisciplinary team of researchers from King Abdullah ...

The dynamic properties of fluids – hydrodynamics – pose one of the most challenging subjects in physics. Central to life as we know it, fluids play important roles in nature at all length scales, from ...

Fluid dynamics is the subdiscipline of fluid mechanics that studies fluids (liquids and gases) in motion. The discipline has a number of subdisciplines, including aerodynamics (the study of gases) and ...

Knots are everywhere—from tangled headphones to DNA strands packed inside viruses—but how an isolated filament can knot itself without collisions or external agitation has remained a longstanding ...
