In a study published in Physics of Fluids, the researchers used the Navier-Stokes equations—the bedrock math of fluid flows—and a few experiments to investigate the behavior of thin liquid films that ...

David J. Silvester, a mathematics professor at the University of Manchester, has developed a novel machine-learning method to ...

Purdue University researchers are designing and building an experiment that will operate during a test flight of a new type of reusable rocket to be launched by aerospace company Blue Origin LLC. The ...

A mathematics professor at The University of Manchester has developed a novel machine-learning method to detect sudden changes in fluid behaviour, improving speed and cost of identifying these ...

To live on the moon or Mars, humans will need heat and air conditioning that can operate long term in reduced gravity and temperatures hundreds of degrees above or below what we experience on Earth.

There are times and places in the universe that experiments cannot reach, and may never be able to reach. What exactly goes on inside black holes, and what happened in the first fractions of a second ...

Quantum turbulence The swirling patterns in Vincent van Gogh’s “The Starry Night” can help us visualize the quantum Kelvin-Helmholtz instability (KHI). The central spiral and surrounding stars and ...
