Researchers have found that a swirling water vortex can force opposing waves to form rotating lines of stillness across an ...

A new study reveals how a spinning vortex causes system-wide, counter-rotating wave patterns, mimicking effects that occur, ...

University of Chicago physicists working in the nascent field of experimental vortex dynamics have, with unexpected help from a Sharpie marker, achieved the first measurements of an elusive but ...

From Bernoulli’s theorem to vortex flows, fluid mechanics labs bring textbook theory to life. Open lab manuals, creative experiments, and precise tools empower students to connect equations with ...

Better understanding the formation of swirling, ring-shaped disturbances—known as vortex rings—could help nuclear fusion researchers compress fuel more efficiently, bringing it closer to becoming a ...
