It may sound like the stuff of fairy tales, but in the 1950s two numerical models initially developed as a pet project by physicists led to the birth of an entirely new field of physics: computational ...

Drizzling honey on toast can produce mesmerizing, meandering patterns, as the syrupy fluid ripples and coils in a sticky, golden thread. Dribbling paint on canvas can produce similarly serpentine ...

Researchers have developed a mathematical technique that radically reduces the enormous computational costs of trying to model fluids that combine both liquid and gas phases, especially within rocket ...

A servovalve is necessary for precise positioning in this hydraulic system. The PI (proportional integral) controller positions the actuator. It uses a table to program the position commands and model ...

The mysteries of the Universe and how we came to be are set to be unlocked by a technique for modelling fluids, similar to one which is becoming increasingly popular within the film industry to ...

Microswimmers: Studying how bacteria swim in complex fluids provides insight into how the micro-organisms move through different environments, such as inside the human body. (Courtesy: Cheng Research ...

It's probably no secret that I'm Ars Technica's resident racing nut. But while I can squeeze in the odd racing game review or occasionally road test some new gizmo at the race track, Nobel Intent's ...
