Life emerged on Earth some 3.8 billion years ago. The "primordial soup theory" proposes that chemicals floating in pools of water, in the presence of sunlight and electrical discharge, spontaneously ...

Most people worry about climate change, but few know what to do. The right tools allow us to convert scientific urgency into ...

A stentor is a trumpet-shaped, single-celled organism up to 2 mm long. It uses its holdfast to anchor to surfaces in ponds or ...

ORNL researchers study quantum computing for fluid dynamics, aiming to enhance industrial design and energy production.

Researchers at the Department of Energy’s Oak Ridge National Laboratory tested a quantum computing approach to an old ...

ORNL researchers used quantum computing to model the unsteady flow of liquids and gases over two parallel plates. Computing ...

Mathematicians studied the flow of human crowds and developed a way to predict when pedestrian paths will transition from ...

Fluid dynamics is the study of the motion of liquids, gases and plasmas. Flow is dependent on the intrinsic properties of the matter itself, such as compressibility, viscosity and density.

This feature has important consequences—it makes it possible to accurately describe the state of the fluid ... dynamics of the system can still be described by the generalized hydrodynamics ...
