Monash researchers have discovered that swimming sperm create swirling fluid vortices—shaped like rolling corkscrews—giving ...

Ansys, a simulation software company, used its Fluent software to simulate a complex turbine system on one of the world's ...

Single-celled organisms that group together can generate stronger water currents to pull in food, a benefit that may have ...

Life emerged on Earth some 3.8 billion years ago. The "primordial soup theory" proposes that chemicals floating in pools of water, in the presence of sunlight and electrical discharge, spontaneously ...

A stentor is a trumpet-shaped, single-celled organism up to 2 mm long. It uses its holdfast to anchor to surfaces in ponds or ...

The fluid dynamics of cooperative feeding may have sparked single cells to assemble into complex, multicellular life, as ...

A study presents a striking example of cooperative organization among cells as a potential force in the evolution of multicellular life. The study is based on the fluid dynamics of cooperative feeding ...

Researchers at the Urbana-Champaign have unlocked new insights into the turbulent behavior of hypersonic flows by using ...

The researchers also introduced a spiral phase plate to the 1553-nm beam before frequency mixing, resulting in the generation of a vortex beam carrying orbital angular momentum. This marks the ...

It represents a fundamental question not only in the study of bacterial behavior but also in classical fluid dynamics, where understanding the ... The experiments revealed that vortex reversal is the ...
