In the quirky quantum world, particles can be affected by forces that they never directly encounter. A classic example is the ...

With the magnificent real images of water pouring from the sky and the after-fire fumes from a car, there is no escaping from the laws of physics in movies either! Fluid simulation in the ’50s and ...

Most engineers are familiar with finite-element analysis and its usefulness in structural problems, but they aren't as well versed in computational fluid dynamics (CFD). A goal plot looks like this ...

Up until now, NVIDIA's PhysX technology hasn't been used in games all that well. Even today, it's still just a technology demo, and a technology acquisition by NVIDIA, but they continue to keep their ...

A University of Manchester researcher has developed a machine-learning method to spot sudden changes in fluid behavior, known as bifurcation points, before traditional simulations fail. The approach ...

Three in one: photograph of a blue whirl flame. (Courtesy: University of Maryland) “Blue whirls” are small, spinning flames that were first spotted in 2016. Now computer simulations suggest that this ...

Balance the flow: Simulations reveal that the gut alternates between different patterns of contraction to optimize nutrient absorption while regulating the growth of bacteria inside the gut. (Courtesy ...
