If you’ve ever whacked the bottom of a ketchup bottle to get that tasty tomato goop flowing, you’ve put some serious physics to work. Ketchup is a non-Newtonian fluid. So are toothpaste, yogurt, ...

The editors of Physics of Fluids (American Institute of Physics) have formally recognised the scientific excellence of a ...

At some point, most people have found themselves holding a tilted carton of milk or bottle of cooking oil, patiently waiting ...

The positions of air inlets and outlets in confined spaces, such as elevators, greatly affect airborne virus transmission. In Physics of Fluids, researchers from University of Nicosia in Cyprus show ...

In Physics of Fluids, researchers model the way snow gathers on a roof based on snowflake size and distribution. The model considers how turbulence can affect recently landed snow and how wind can ...
