Four crew members will embark on a new long-duration science expedition when they launch to the International Space Station ...

Delicious drinks can be the perfect miniature laboratory for demonstrating the weird physics of fluids. In this video, deputy features editor, Josh Howgego explores four of the best examples ...

At Northwestern, cutting-edge and novel Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) techniques are developed and applied to study problems ranging from fluid-structure interactions, biofluiddynamics, organ ...

The combustion efficiency in a car engine, for example, or the production of chemicals in large-scale chemical reaction plants depends crucially on the dynamics of the gases and liquids. “These are ...

NPR's Ailsa Chang talks with Emily Kwong and Regina Barber of Short Wave about the fluid dynamics of crowds, an early fossil of a modern bird and new data on how people's moods change through the day.

Florida State University researchers will use new funding from the National Science Foundation to investigate mechanisms that ...

Fluid dynamics is the study of the motion of liquids, gases and plasmas. Flow is dependent on the intrinsic properties of the matter itself, such as compressibility, viscosity and density.
