Anyone who has ever turned on a tap knows something about fluid dynamics. Whether a fluid is flowing through household plumbing or industrial oil and gas pipelines, when it runs slowly its flow is ...

Fluids can be roughly divided into two categories: regular ones and weird ones. Regular ones, like water and alcohol, act more or less as expected when pumped through pipes or stirred with a spoon.

Researchers have discovered that bacterial swarms transition from stable vortices to chaotic turbulence through distinct intermediate states. Combining experiments with bacterial swarms, computer ...

Choas is the thing for Mairéad McCloskey (17), a sixth-year student at Loreto College, Coleraine. She studied the chaotic flow patterns formed in churned liquids, characterising them and producing ...

With the Vytilla Mobility Hub becoming more functional and more buses being diverted along the hub, the City Traffic Police are finding their hands full. The situation at the already busy junction has ...

Transitional flow is known to consist of intermittent patches of different types of flow, which alternate along the pipeline. In the standard approach to measuring friction in transitional flow, they ...

In the 1960s, drillers noticed that certain fluids would firm up if they flowed too fast. Researchers have finally explained why. Fluids can be roughly divided into two categories: regular ones and ...
