How reliable are CFD results?

This review highlights common pitfalls and how to avoid them, emphasizing validation, numerical accuracy, and physical consistency. Essential reading for simulation-based research.

Navier-Stokes equations in the kitchen.

Down to the last drop: Physics answers a kitchen question

How long does it take for the last drop of milk or oil to drip out of the bottle? US scientists have probed this everyday conundrum.

Predicting droplet-fiber interactions is now more accurate: a validated semi-empirical model captures the maximum droplet volume across a wide range of fiber sizes and wettabilities.
