Step inside the strange world of a superfluid, a liquid that can flow endlessly without friction, defying the common-sense ...

A team of researchers affiliated with UNIST has made a significant breakthrough by mathematically proving that a special type of vortex pair, called the Sadovskii vortex patch, can exist within ideal ...

Vortex dynamics simulations reveal reconnection, an important property linked with creation of turbulence cascade, fluid mixing, and aerodynamic noise generation. Turbulent pipe flow simulated at high ...

An Australian-led study has provided new insight into the behaviour of rotating superfluids. A defining feature of superfluids is that they exhibit quantised vortices – they can only rotate with one, ...

The study of vortex dynamics in fluid mechanics is critical for both advancing aeronautical design and minimising flow-induced hazards. At its core, vortex dynamics examines the formation, evolution, ...

Vortex tubes are a key ingredient of turbulence, which is widely studied in classical physics. The motion of vortex tubes is relevant in a wide range of scenarios, such as the formation of hurricanes, ...

Discover how to build a multi-stage water siphoning and vortex device using repurposed plastic bottles and simple household items. Watch water flow through homemade channels as captivating vortices ...

There was once a saying from the renowned American physicist Richard Feynman about turbulence. He said that it remains to be the most important "unsolved" problem in classical physics. The challenge ...

The knots in your shoelaces are familiar, but can you imagine knots made from light, water, or from the structured fluids ...

Flamingos, often pictured standing still with their heads submerged in water, make for a pretty picture. But peep underwater, and you’ll find the tall, elegant pink birds bobbing their heads, ...

A century-old physics question had scientists and mathematicians in knots, until two researchers at the University of Chicago annihilated them. Dustin Kleckner, a postdoctoral scientist, and William ...
