A group of physicists came up with a way to stir up a liquid in a microchannel. Physicists managed to find a sophisticated solution to the problem based on the use of superhydrophobic surfaces. A lot ...

Vortex mixers are one of the primary technologies for mixing laboratory samples in test tubes, flasks, or well plates which use a simple mechanism to agitate samples and encourage reactions or ...

Vortex dynamics simulations reveal reconnection, an important property linked with creation of turbulence cascade, fluid mixing, and aerodynamic noise generation. Turbulent pipe flow simulated at high ...

The study of vortex ring dynamics centres on understanding the formation, evolution and decay of toroidal vortices generated by pulsed fluid jets. These phenomena are crucial in a wide range of ...

The effectiveness of the mixing process can be key to determining whether the overall process is viable on any scale and can be the difference between a reaction working and the difference between a ...

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 ...
