The Korea Institute of Civil Engineering and Building Technology (KICT) has developed a new cubic equation of state (EOS) ...

If you’ve ever whacked the bottom of a ketchup bottle to get that tasty tomato goop flowing, you’ve put some serious physics to work. Ketchup is a non-Newtonian fluid. So are toothpaste, yogurt, ...

From the 1800s to the early 2000s, physicists used the same theory to understand the behavior of fluids. Now, using a modern ...

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 ...

In collaboration with the MacCurdy Lab, we recently published a paper in Physics of Fluids titled Modeling of Contactless Bubble-bubble Interactions in Microchannels with Integrated Inertial Pumps.

Physics is supposed to be predictable. Drop a ball, and gravity pulls it down. Heat water, and it boils. Light travels in straight lines. Yet throughout history, scientists have encountered ...

If you mix cornstarch and water in the right proportions, you get “oobleck”: something that seems not-quite-liquid but also not-quite-solid. Oobleck flows and settles like a liquid when untouched, but ...

Turbulent times This visualization of fluid flow was made using laser-induced fluorescence. (Courtesy: C Fukushima and J Westerweel/Technical University of Delft/CC BY 3.0) The Navier–Stokes partial ...

Researchers at Penn, led by Physics and Astronomy professor Arnold Mathijssen, have discovered ways to achieve quality coffee extraction using fewer beans. Published in “Physics of Fluids,” the ...
