In fluid dynamics, hard science often comes with dazzling aesthetic beauty – a fact the American Physical Society highlights annually with a photo/video contest. Here are this year's winners – equal ...

This program is no longer accepting applications. Both the Department of Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering(MAE) and the College of Engineering(COE) offer a variety of graduate certificates to meet ...

Core to the approach is what the companies call a one-step simplified LBM, or OSSLBM, framework. The method uses a hybrid ...

Our research efforts in Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) include high performance computing for compressible and incompressible flows, development of finite volume schemes for hybrid and generalized ...

Flow chemistry is revolutionizing the way we design and study macromolecules, offering a powerful, complementary approach to materials discovery—one that seamlessly integrates with modern data-driven ...

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, ...

Contemporary sports analytics is focused on the analysis of performance data. At Northwestern we propose to change the state of the art by adding new metrics based on, hitherto scarce, physics-based ...

Research in fluid mechanics and aerodynamics includes fluid-structure interactions, unsteady fluid flows, phase-based analysis of fluid flows, rarefied gas flow, particle flow simulation, aerodynamic ...

Computational methods are routinely used to solve fluid flow problems in academia and industry, alike. At Northwestern, cutting-edge and novel Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) techniques are ...
