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 ...

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 ...

Abby Ledford, a junior pursuing a dual degree in physics and engineering at UNG, works on a fluid dynamics research project under the supervision of Dr. Patrick Bunton, head of the Department of ...

At some point, most people have found themselves holding a tilted carton of milk or bottle of cooking oil, patiently waiting for the last drops to drip out. Now, physicists at Brown University have ...

Tang was surprised by the time it took to drain 90% of the liquid from the wok when poured out. According to Dutta’s calculations, it takes 10 to 15 minutes, Tang said. Since this layer is so thin and ...

The Fluid Mechanics & Fluid Power Lab is an academic teaching space for Fluid Mechanics & Fluid Power courses. The Lab includes six pneumatic frame assemblies with various components for engineering ...

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 ...

A study inspired by street performers making gigantic soap bubbles led to a discovery in fluid mechanics: Mixing different molecular sizes of polymers within a solution increases the ability of a thin ...

The Computational Engineering Physics Laboratory at Western Michigan University (WMU) engages in computational research in multidisciplinary engineering physics. Funding from various government and ...

Tying a knot in a smoke ring sounds like a feat worthy of those enjoying a certain kind of cigarette. But treat smoke as an example of a fluid, and it becomes a physics problem. Now for the first time ...
