Fluid mixing and mass transfer in agitated systems are central to many industrial and biotechnological processes. Mechanical agitation enables efficient homogenisation in reactors and bioreactors, ...

The University of Colorado’s Department of Applied Mathematics (APPM) is seeking to fill a postdoctoral research instructorship position to investigate the dynamics of doubly-diffusive systems with a ...

Mixing phenomena and the evolution and stability of coherent vortex structures and interfaces play an essential role in the dynamics of fluids. Their study has a direct impact on the understanding of ...

Add hot water and stir. Those simple instructions capitalize on the well-known principle that stirring a solution can speed up chemical reactions. Researchers in Belgium now show that the opposite is ...

Delicious drinks can be the perfect miniature laboratory for demonstrating the weird physics of fluids. In this video, deputy features editor, Josh Howgego explores four of the best examples, ...

Could astronauts surf to Mars assisted by a hypersonic shockwave? A new paper in the Journal of Fluid Dynamics suggests it’s a more likely scenario than we think, combining traditional propulsion with ...
