Scientists shed new light on the chaotic motion of a solid body moving through a fluid. They claim to have discovered two basic mechanisms that lead to chaotic motion of the body as it interacts with ...
Soap Film RipplesJanuary 28, 2010—Ripples in soap film mimic the flow of air from a hand-held fan in an award-winning image from the American Physical Society's (APS) most recent Gallery of Fluid ...
SAN FRANCISCO—Fluid mechanics is the science of breaking waves, explosions, bubbles, ripples, clouds, and currents. So when editors of the Journal of Fluid Mechanics declared, in 1967, that their ...
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 ...
Biological microorganisms swim with flagella and cilia that execute nonreciprocal motions for low Reynolds number (Re) propulsion in viscous fluids. This symmetry requirement is a consequence of ...
While atmospheric turbulence is a familiar culprit of rough flights, the chaotic movement of turbulent flows remains an unsolved problem in physics. To gain insight into the system, a team of ...
