A Venus’s-flower-basket isn’t all show. This stunning deep-sea sponge can also alter the flow of seawater in surprising ways. A lacy, barrel-shaped chamber forms the sponge’s glassy skeleton. Flow ...

Lateral water movement from ridges to valleys plays a key role in organizing water and energy at the watershed scale. But it has long been neglected in traditional land models. To better understand ...

The underlying mechanism is investigated using discrete element methods simulations.

This is a new direct numerical simulation which predicts the flow of RBCs through the body's networks of capillaries. Disclaimer: AAAS and EurekAlert! are not responsible for the accuracy of news ...

Fluid-Implicit-Particle or FLIP is a method for simulating particle interactions in fluid dynamics, commonly used in visual effects for its speed. [Nick] adapted this technique into an impressive FLIP ...

Hydrodynamic field inside and outside the skeletal structure of the Euplectella aspergillum glass sponge. The field was reconstructed using CINECA super-computers. Kinetic methodologies and advanced ...

Biomedical engineers at Duke University are developing a massive fluid dynamics simulator that can model blood flow through the full human arterial system at subcellular resolution. One of the goals ...
