Compressible fluid dynamics investigates the behaviour of fluids when variations in density cannot be neglected, a scenario frequently encountered in high-speed aerodynamics and astrophysical ...

Computational methods are routinely used to solve fluid flow problems in academia and industry, alike. At Northwestern, cutting-edge and novel Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) techniques are ...

Computational fluid dynamics (CFD) is a branch of physics that utilizes numerical methods and algorithms to analyze and predict the behavior of fluids and gases under various conditions. This field ...

This program is no longer accepting applications. Both the Department of Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering(MAE) and the College of Engineering(COE) offer a variety of graduate certificates to meet ...

Scientists have solved a 50-year-old mechanics problem that could change how statisticians run simulations and draw conclusions. The question is this: Is a 2D liquid different from a 3D liquid? The ...

It’s said that life can imitate art. This usual means something happens in the real world that plays out like a novel or a ...

A college student in Switzerland says he’s solved a 100-year-old physics problem. The question is about an air bubble trapped in a very narrow tube of liquid, where the bubble appears to be “stuck,” ...

Some projects seem to take on a life of their own. You get an idea, design and prototype it, finally build the thing and — it’s good, but it’s not quite right ...
