An environmental engineering professor has solved a decades-old mystery regarding the behavior of fluids, a field of study with widespread medical, industrial and environmental applications. An Oregon ...

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 ...

As a car accelerates up and down a hill then slows to follow a hairpin turn, the airflow around it cannot keep up and detaches from the vehicle. This aerodynamic separation creates additional drag ...

From cow manure and cookie fillings to aluminum can coatings and engine oils, a small group of scientists at Southwest Research Institute is working to help solve industry’s fluid problems. In a ...
