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 ...

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 ...

A new interactive web app is helping engineering students grasp fluid mechanics by visualising how flows behave, reducing reliance on complex static equations. Fluid mechanics is widely recognised as ...

A new interactive web app is making one of the most challenging areas of engineering education easier to understand, allowing university students to actually see how fluid mechanics works rather than ...

Nearly 200 years ago, the physicists Claude-Louis Navier and George Gabriel Stokes put the finishing touches on a set of equations that describe how fluids swirl. And for nearly 200 years, the ...

The existence of finite-time singularities in the classical Navier-Stokes equations has remained an open problem for over two centuries (The Millennium Prize Problem). This repository demonstrates ...

The following is an extract from our Lost in Space-Time newsletter. Each month, we hand over the keyboard to a physicist or mathematician to tell you about fascinating ideas from their corner of the ...

Have you ever wondered about the magic behind the formation of raindrops or picturesque snowflakes? Or maybe about the creation of the otherworldly rings surrounding Saturn? These processes are all ...

Developing a quantitative understanding of wave plasma processes in the lower ionosphere requires a reasonably accurate theoretical description of the underlying physical processes. For such a highly ...
