The magnetic fields lacing through galaxy clusters and cosmic filaments have no business being there. The early universe was ...

Fluid forces on particulate beds can be used to model erosion processes, filtration systems, and industrial particulate ...

Physicists at the University of Bayreuth have investigated the so-called Basset–Boussinesq history force acting on particles in fluids. Due to the difficulty of calculating it, this force is often ...

The generation of fusion energy utilizes the fusion reaction that occurs inside a high-temperature plasma. In order to achieve the generation of fusion energy, we confine plasma in the magnetic field ...

Some projects seem to take on a life of their own. You get an idea, design and prototype it, finally build the thing and — it’s good, but it’s not quite right ...

A wave breaks on the shore, sending up splashes of water and spray and creating eddies in the surrounding air. However, the digital simulation of this everyday natural occurrence is anything but ...

In a twist on conventional wisdom, researchers have discovered that in ocean-like fluids with changing density, tiny porous particles can sink faster than larger ones, thanks to how they absorb salt.

Paul M. Sutter is an astrophysicist at SUNY Stony Brook and the Flatiron Institute, host of "Ask a Spaceman" and "Space Radio," and author of "How to Die in Space." Sutter contributed this article to ...

The purpose of the project is to simulate an ideal gas on a VGA monitor to perform calculation when the ideal gas particles collide with each other or within the edge of the VGA monitor screen. The ...
