Fluid dynamics in rotating systems is a research field that explores how rotation and centrifugal forces influence the motion and behaviour of fluids. This area of study is pivotal in understanding a ...

A University of Massachusetts Amherst food scientist has been awarded two USDA National Institute of Food and Agriculture grants to pursue research designed to benefit the environment and human health ...

Using unconventional statistical mechanics to understand fluid dynamics, a professor helped solve a 150 year old physics problem of how turbulent fluids move through a pipe. In 1883 Osborne Reynolds ...

Flow chemistry is revolutionizing the way we design and study macromolecules, offering a powerful, complementary approach to materials discovery—one that seamlessly integrates with modern data-driven ...

Robyn Macdonald is pushing the frontiers of extremely high speed research: hypersonics. A new assistant professor in the Ann and H.J. Smead Department of Aerospace Engineering Sciences at the ...

Cicadas, and the way they urinate, offer a 'perfect' lab for understanding fluid dynamics at very small scales, researchers say This spring and summer, across the Midwest and Southeast United States, ...

Little insects, even rodents, pee in droplets. Big animals like humans and elephants pee in streams. It's the most energy-efficient way to excrete. But it turns out that cicadas pee in jets, too — and ...

February 7, 2025 • What do large crowds of people and water have in common? They both act like fluids. When crowds cheer, sway and clump together, the movements look like ripples of water. Researchers ...

For centuries, expert mezcal distillers have tested for “doneness” by examining the bubbles their brews produce. If the alcohol content isn’t just right—if it’s too low or too high—the bubbles go away ...
