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 ...

Knots are not just for shoelaces and sailing lines. In the last decade, physicists have shown that swirling liquids can spontaneously tie themselves into intricate knots, and they are finally starting ...

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 ...

Researchers have developed a new theoretical model that explains macroscale fluid convection induced by plasmonic (metal) nanostructures. This work is the first to establish both theoretically and ...
