Students will be able to explain that the density of a liquid has to do with how heavy it is for the sample size. Students will also be able to explain that if a liquid is more dense than water, it ...

Buoyant displacement flows refer to the processes by which density differences drive one fluid to displace another. Such flows are prevalent in both natural and industrial settings, including enhanced ...

These mysterious "fireworks" aren't lighting up the night sky — they're computer simulations from a recent paper on mixing fluids that don't want to mix. Researchers mapped out how two immiscible ...

When two fluids don't mix well, they sometimes form strange patterns called "viscous fingering," or Saffman-Taylor instability. Studying these patterns can help scientists understand how to design ...
