@commsphys.nature.comIf the Navier-Stokes Millennium Prize problem has been resolved, what changes for physics and what does not?
Communications Physics published today an Editorial by our Editorial Board Member Amin Doostmohammadi discussing exactly that.

@denys-dutykh.comHow does a flow on a rotating planet turn from regular to chaotic? With Francesco Carbone of Italy's National Research Council, in PLOS ONE (@plosone.org, 2024), we kept only five interacting waves and found two different roads to chaos. 🧵 #FluidDynamics #ChaosTheory
@nicolesharp.comThe so-called Feynman sprinkler problem has long vexed physicists. If you reverse a standard sprinkler with S-shaped arms by sucking water into it, will it turn and, if so, in what direction? #fluiddynamics

@frontierresearch.coWhen a flow turns unstable, do the particles in it follow the vortices? Multiscale X-ray scatter microscopy says it depends: graphene oxide platelets track the flow, while rod-like cellulose nanocrystals show fast orientational motion correlated with the vortex turnover.
@philosophicalmag.bsky.socialInterested in #FluidDynamics? Have you considered Feynman’s reverse sprinkler problem?
The answer could help design better turbines for #RenewableEnergy.

@leidenforce.bsky.socialHow do you produce a single droplet on the surface of a liquid bath?
Stretch a liquid filament with a spring-loaded probe. Stretch it too far, and it breaks into multiple drops; not far enough & no drop forms.
@denys-dutykh.comCan a solitary wave cross a patch of rotating liquid and emerge unchanged? With Matthew Hunt we studied waves on a conducting liquid under an electric field, when the liquid carries vorticity. Mathematical Methods in the Applied Sciences, 2026 (@wiley.com) 🧵 #FluidDynamics
@mathify-dev.bsky.socialOpenAI’s Navier–Stokes Singularity Claim, Explained
Follow for the equations hiding behind the news.
@leidenforce.bsky.socialWater is usually the shield against #corrosion.
Here, charged droplets break down the shield itself: a Teflon #coating develops damage, exposing the copper beneath.
How should future protective surfaces respond to charged water?
@philosophicalmag.bsky.socialEver watched a flock of birds fly across the sky and wondered how they coordinate without colliding?
Turns out, they might not be thinking about it —they're just riding the air currents and letting #physics do the heavy-lifting: spr.ly/63321BGQJYR

@denys-dutykh.comFeynman called water waves “the worst possible example” of waves: “they have all the complications that waves can have.” With Didier Clamond and Dimitrios Mitsotakis, we wrote an open-access monograph on modelling them with variational principles (IAHR, 2024). 🧵 #FluidDynamics

@leidenforce.bsky.socialWhat if buried streams could become part of a city's flood-management system?
"Daylighting" urban streams can restore natural flow paths while creating space for water, habitats and people.
@leidenforce.bsky.socialWhat can bubbles in a hot spring tell us about the deep Earth?
In Zambia, helium isotopes in geothermal fluids reveal a connection between surface waters and the mantle, pointing to an early stage of continental rifting.
