Shini is very excited to start talking about Fluids. In this episode of Crash Course Physics, Shini is very excited to start talking about Fluids. You see, she's a Fluid Dynamicist and Mechanical ...
Vortex is a natural fluid phenomenon that is often of great consequence in almost any practical flow, such as shear layers, ...
If you’ve ever whacked the bottom of a ketchup bottle to get that tasty tomato goop flowing, you’ve put some serious physics to work. Ketchup is a non-Newtonian fluid. So are toothpaste, yogurt, ...
In collaboration with the MacCurdy Lab, we recently published a paper in Physics of Fluids titled Modeling of Contactless Bubble-bubble Interactions in Microchannels with Integrated Inertial Pumps.
If you mix cornstarch and water in the right proportions, you get “oobleck”: something that seems not-quite-liquid but also not-quite-solid. Oobleck flows and settles like a liquid when untouched, but ...
You spin me round: Two spinners inside a circular container are surrounded by liquid containing bubbles that help to visualize the flows. The left spinner is actively driven to rotate with a motor ...
The first ever camera footage from inside a centrifuge has revealed a new mystery in the physics of fluids. A centrifuge is a standard piece of laboratory equipment that spins fluid samples at high ...
Electrons flowing in vortices Top: Schematic experimental layout showing samples of Au (a) and WTe2 (b) together with the device used to measure current flow. Bottom: Normalized current densities ...
From keeping engines cool to ensuring smooth gear shifts, automotive fluids are the unsung heroes of vehicle performance. Understanding their physics, thermodynamics, and hydraulics reveals how small ...
