Although systems consisting of many interacting small particles can be highly complex and chaotic, some can nonetheless be described using simple theories. Does this also pertain to the world of ...

Classical hydrodynamics laws can be very useful for describing the behavior of systems composed of many particles (i.e., many-body systems) after they reach a local state of equilibrium. These laws ...

New experiments using trapped one-dimensional gases -- atoms cooled to the coldest temperatures in the universe and confined so that they can only move in a line -- fit with the predictions of the ...

Researchers modeled the role of hydrodynamics in liquid-liquid transitions of a single-component system. They showed that domain formation is related to the density upon transition, which can be ...

A steadily increasing amount of fluid flow problems in naval architecture is dealt with by solving the Reynolds-averaged Navier-Stokes (Rans) or Euler equations. These “field methods”, which ...

Our research is in the field of nonlinear waves, lying at the nexus of applied mathematics and physics. Mathematically, the nonlinear waves that we investigate are solutions to nonlinear, dispersive ...

The CU Boulder Applied Mathematics Department's Dispersive Hydrodynamics Laboratory investigates nonlinear wave phenomena in fluid-like systems. The key features of systems explored include ...

Viscous free-surface flows associated with water entry were predicted by a finite volume method incorporating a free-surface capturing model. The method was applied to simulate two- and ...
