The currents of the oceans, the roiling surface of the sun, and the clouds of smoke billowing off a forest fire—all are ...

University of Chicago physicists have succeeded in creating a vortex knot—a feat akin to tying a smoke ring into a knot. Linked and knotted vortex loops have existed in theory for more than a century, ...

The team used an AI method known as equation discovery to develop a model to simulate the interactions between small eddies—circular, vortex-like currents—and large-scale ones. These interactions are ...

In 1900, at the grand amphitheater of the Sorbonne in Paris, David Hilbert stood before a crowd of mathematicians and delivered a speech that would echo through the next century. He outlined 10 — and ...

For nearly a century, some of the simplest questions in quantum theory have stubbornly resisted clean answers, turning basic ...

Physics of Fluids is a peer-reviewed monthly scientific journal on fluid dynamics, published by the American Institute of Physics with cooperation by the American Physical Society's Division of Fluid ...

Compressible fluid dynamics investigates the behaviour of fluids when variations in density cannot be neglected, a scenario frequently encountered in high-speed aerodynamics and astrophysical ...
