In a study published in Physics of Fluids, the researchers used the Navier-Stokes equations—the bedrock math of fluid flows—and a few experiments to investigate the behavior of thin liquid films that ...

If you’ve ever whacked the bottom of a ketchup bottle to get that tasty tomato goop flowing, you’ve put some serious physics to work. Ketchup is a non-Newtonian fluid. So are toothpaste, yogurt, ...

From ketchup to quicksand, non-Newtonian fluids have long fascinated and puzzled scientists. Unlike ordinary fluids, their flow properties change depending on how much force is applied, but the ...

Fluid flows play a key part in living systems. Cross-disciplinary engagement between fluid physics and biology greatly benefits both fields. The natural patterns created by fluids — the swollen waters ...
