Our research efforts in Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) include high performance computing for compressible and incompressible flows, development of finite volume schemes for hybrid and generalized ...

Researchers at the Department of Energy's Oak Ridge National Laboratory have tested a quantum computing approach to an old challenge: solving classical fluid dynamics problems. For the test problem, ...

Being stuck in a crowd can be an overwhelming experience. Physicists and computer scientists bring some order to the chaos. iStock From high above, a crowd of people looks much like a colony of ants ...

It's a little-known fact that tiny particles like blood cells drift sideways when moving past a rough surface, but this quirk has drawn much attention from researchers solving industrial problems. Why ...

Pulsation, vibration & noise, where we optimise the design of process systems from an integrity perspective leading to increased safety and reliability, for domains such as the petrochemical industry, ...

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 ...

Fluid dynamics is the subdiscipline of fluid mechanics that studies fluids (liquids and gases) in motion. The discipline has a number of subdisciplines, including aerodynamics (the study of gases) and ...
