New paper out - Rheology of #granular mixtures with varying size, density, particle friction, and flow geometry journals.aps.org/prfluids/abstr…. Josef Dufek Luke Fullard Below is a DALL-E illustration of granular temperature being a key property in granular media...had to put a volcano

Join Josef Dufek and co as they look into the rheology of granular mixtures, exploring how size, density, and friction impact their flow behavior. Insights from simulations shed light on the complex dynamics of these materials. go.aps.org/3Vmem0N #fluiddynamics #granularflows

Learn about the intriguing world of heat transport in spinning liquids in Zhang et al.'s new paper, highlighting the crucial part wall modes play as we transition from localized to bulk convection. More @ go.aps.org/3UTFsdT and their related work @ go.aps.org/3zQgEJ8

PRFluids Editors' Suggestion: Benoit Scheid and co investigate what happens when a sphere is launched under a liquid surface like a ball jumping out of water. The study examines how the sphere moves and changes shape as it exits the liquid. go.aps.org/4bLQsB6 #fluiddynamics

You've probably seen the masterful strokes of a painter as they scrape soft paints on a canvas with a painting knife. Here, Taylor-West and Hogg study the scraping of a thin layer of viscoplastic fluid. Read their interesting results @ go.aps.org/3wBoIjH #fluiddynamics

Drops on a cool dance floor! - Solidification takes the lead in controlling drop impact outcomes on supercooled surfaces, from rebound to fragmentation. Dive into the science of icy interactions with Kulkarni et al. @ go.aps.org/3QRitiv. #fluiddynamics

New research from Boettger et al. uncovers the energetic inception of wave breaking in surface gravity waves under wind forcing, revealing key insights into air-sea fluxes and turbulent ocean mixing. #wavedynamics #oceanscience #fluiddynamics go.aps.org/3wDBVse

PRFluids Editors' Suggestion: Yu and Graham (UW–Madison) explore how the flexibility of thin elastic sheets affects their action in viscous fluid, providing insights into the intricate dance between gravity & sheet deformability. More @ go.aps.org/4bjqxka #fluiddynamics

Join us for the next Physical Review Journal Club on May 29 at 12 noon EDT - Michalis Chatzimanolakis will discuss their recent work on ''Learn how to use deep reinforcement learning to control cylinder flows'' Register here: go.aps.org/4csjRRU See you there!

Prof. Andrea Prosperetti shows how small particles in a fluid can form dune-like structures, helping lift more particles into the flow. These dunes play a key role in enhancing the movement of particles in the fluid, increasing energy transfer efficiency. go.aps.org/3QH4E6h

In their new paper, Bendaoud et al. show how the shape of red blood cells affects how well they move through tiny blood vessels, impacting oxygen delivery to tissues. Abnormal shapes can slow down blood flow, affecting overall health. go.aps.org/4bfM5OQ #fluiddynamics

PRFluids Editors' Suggestion: Alhashim and Brenner team up to optimize polydisperse porous media for enhanced fluid flows using automatic differentiation. Discover the key to maximizing flow rates through systematic topology tuning! go.aps.org/3JUPpTh #fluiddynamics

PRFluids Editors' Suggestion: Experiments from Ahn et al. show the effects on combustion of adding hydrogen to natural gas—a fuel mixture that could reduce carbon emissions from power plants. Read more @ go.aps.org/3JSjvah, also featured in Physics Magazine today!

Collapsing cavitation bubbles can create powerful hydrodynamic events. Huang et al. explore the formation and development of wall vortex flows induced by the collapse of cavitation bubbles near a rigid wall, focusing on the influence of the water surface. go.aps.org/44GgWS7

Hypersonic interactions with a twist! In this paper, Ceci et al. unravel the secrets of low-frequency unsteadiness in shock wave-boundary layer interactions - it's a wild ride of pressure corrugations and dynamic flows! More @ go.aps.org/3QCuxEl #fluiddynamics #shockwaves

In this ⁦Physical Review Fluids⁩ paper, we study a randomly forced flow past the onset of a pitchfork bifurcation. After reducing the dynamics to its normal form, tools from statistical mechanics are applied to determine transition statistics. doi.org/10.1103/PhysRe…

PRFluids Editors' Suggestion: Inspired by the Nepenthes pitcher plant, liquid-infused solids defy simple categorization as solid or liquid. Here, Saurabh । সৌরভ । and Prof Quéré explore how liquid-infused solids accelerate viscous drop spreading dynamics! go.aps.org/3ULsxMs

Swirling with a rotating magnetic field! In their new paper, Horstmann et al. study interfacial waves induced by rotating magnetic fields in two-phase swirling flows. Low-frequency RMFs drive wave patterns resembling hyperbolic paraboloids. go.aps.org/3UQ4Wu9 #fluiddynamics

PRFluids Editors' Suggestion: Ocean in a box! Featured in Physics Magazine today. A new model from Miller et al. gives an improved description of the flow of the ocean’s kinetic energy by including friction with the coasts. go.aps.org/4dlFJid #oceanography #fluiddynamics
