For our image this week we’ve taken an image from Covergent chaos, a recent paper published in Journal of Physics A. Marc Pradas, Alain Pumir, Greg Huber and Michael Wilkinson study the instabilities and convergence of trajectories revealing and commenting… Read More ›
Fluid dynamics
“There are plenty of new discoveries waiting for us” – an interview with Dr Thierry Dauxois
Dr Thierry Dauxois is a theoretical physicist and Director of Research of the Laboratoire de Physique at l’Ecole Normale Supérieure de Lyon. We talk to him about his career, his work on long-range interacting systems and internal gravity waves and what it is he finds so appealing about the topics he studies.
New method for rapid calculation of fundamental hydration properties
In silico drug design stands to benefit from deeper insights into hydration properties achieved with 3D-RISM
Derjaguin in flatland: prewetting spreads out
Surface patterning turns first-order a prewetting transition into a continuous one.
Challenging ‘one of the last open problems of classical physics’
How can the instanton method be used to determine structures in turbulent fluid flows at high Reynolds numbers?
Mathematics for the fluid Earth
JPhysA are now accepting submissions for a new special issue on mathematics for the fluid Earth. The Earth is a rich system in which to study fluid mechanics, non-equilibrium statistical mechanics, nonlinearities and random processes, so we expect to get a very diverse spread of papers within the scope of the journal.
