Science journalist Anne Saker describes the Chandrasekhar Limit as a range of possibility where if a planet has enough stability in its magnetic force and its gravitational force, it can sustain life.

Computer scientists at the University of California San Diego have developed a method for generating highly realistic computer-generated images of fluid dynamics in elements such as smoke. This ...

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, ...

Computational fluid dynamics (CFD) simulations are complex, computationally expensive and not typically something that startups focus on. But that’s exactly what Boston- and Berlin-based Dive is doing ...

The gaming industry is arguably one of the most important and innovative sectors of today’s technology industry. Driven by increasingly popular mobile gaming, it is now more valuable than the film and ...

For centuries, mathematicians have sought to understand and model the motion of fluids. The equations that describe how ripples crease the surface of a pond have also helped researchers to predict the ...

In context: Computational fluid dynamics (CFD) exploits the power of computer technology to study and predict how fluids behave under simulated conditions. Supercomputers can do wonders with CFD ...

The lattice Boltzmann method (LBM) is a computational paradigm grounded in kinetic theory that simulates fluid flow by tracking the evolution of particle distribution functions on a discrete lattice.

Dorsal views of streamlines from the CFD simulation of pulmonary airflow in monitor lizards run on the Blue Waters supercomputer. Red streamlines indicate flow towards the front of the lung, and blue ...
