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, ...

From Bernoulli’s theorem to vortex flows, fluid mechanics labs bring textbook theory to life. Open lab manuals, creative experiments, and precise tools empower students to connect equations with ...

To accurately simulate fish morphologies, the rigid foil model should be improved to a flexible filament model. This study ...

Knots are not just for shoelaces and sailing lines. In the last decade, physicists have shown that swirling liquids can spontaneously tie themselves into intricate knots, and they are finally starting ...

Air rings blown by dolphins swimming underwater and rings of smoke emitted by jet engines are just two examples of vortex rings. These doughnut-shaped structures and their mesmerizing movement have ...

An international team of scientists featuring Florida State University researchers has developed a model that predicts the spread of vortices in so-called superfluids, work that provides new insight ...
