Although systems consisting of many interacting small particles can be highly complex and chaotic, some can nonetheless be described using simple theories. Does this also pertain to the world of ...
For a long time, the liquid state of pure substances was believed to be a continuous state in which the component atoms or molecules are all equivalent. However, it has now been widely shown that ...
The present study aims to investigate the hydrodynamic behavior of gas–solid flow in a pseudo-two-dimensional cold circulation fluidized bed specifically designed to mimic a plane cut of an industrial ...
New experiments using trapped one-dimensional gases -- atoms cooled to the coldest temperatures in the universe and confined so that they can only move in a line -- fit with the predictions of the ...
Pictured: Water whirls. Solutions to the Navier-Stokes equations make it possible to predict the behaviour of liquids under a variety of conditions, from the motion of the oceans, to the flow of blood ...
As compared to the well explored problem of how to steer a macroscopic agent, like an airplane or a moon lander, to optimally reach a target, optimal navigation strategies for microswimmers ...
Our research is in the field of nonlinear waves, lying at the nexus of applied mathematics and physics. Mathematically, the nonlinear waves that we investigate are solutions to nonlinear, dispersive ...
