How do you identify flow regimes in a condensing steam jet? A new study uses chaos analysis to distinguish stable jets, oscillating jets and bubbly flow using just two parameters.
A simple way to track complex vapor–liquid dynamics.

How do we model fluids that behave partly like solids?
A physics-based Maxwell model with variable parameters improves the description of viscoelastic flows where material properties change during deformation.

Researchers made an egg-roll-shaped capillary tube with inclined microplates. Liquids move directionally based on contact angles, opening new ways to control fluids in microchannels.
