A body moving through a fluid experiences a drag force, which is usually divided into two components: frictional drag, and pressure drag. Frictional drag comes from friction between the fluid and the ...

Drag and lift are the forces which act on a body moving through a fluid, or on a stationary object in a flowing fluid. We ...

Seven years ago, UC Santa Barbara researchers caught an unexpected phenomenon on film: A pool of red dye that somehow “knew” how to solve a maze filled with milk. Propelled forward by a couple drops ...

Researchers discovered that ink in a soap-and-milk experiment follows the path of least resistance due to surface tension ...

An "intelligent" liquid that has baffled scientists due to its ability to "choose" its own path to solve a maze has finally ...

What began as a demonstration of the complexity of fluid systems became an art piece ... of certain effects happening for the problem of drag reduction," said assistant professor Paolo Luzzatto ...
