In high school science class, we learned that plugging a cable into an electrical circuit sets off a flow of electrons, powering everything from our lights to our phones. Traditionally, we've ...

Viscous fingering occurs when a thinner fluid pushes a thicker, more viscous fluid in a porous medium, like underground rock, creating unpredictable, finger-like patterns. For decades, this intricate ...

When two fluids don't mix well, they sometimes form strange patterns called "viscous fingering," or Saffman-Taylor instability. Studying these patterns can help scientists understand how to design ...

Gravity is a bully it pushes particles around so much on Earth that we rarely see their true nature. This is a feeling now ...

Cosmologists are facing an unexpected puzzle. The latest observations do not perfectly match the mathematical model used for decades to describe the evolution of the Universe. This model, called ΛCDM ...

This course is usually taken by graduate students in mechancal engineering who specialize in fluid mechanics. A second course in graduate level fluid mechanics. Familiarity with Navier-Stokes ...
