A large-scale fluid simulation tracking 100,000 particles as they settle through turbulent water has identified a previously unknown convective mixing effect at the leading edge of the particle cloud.
What governs the speed at which raindrops fall, sediment settles in river estuaries, and matter is ejected during a supernova? These questions circle around one, deceitfully simple factor: the rate at ...
In A Nutshell Scientists discovered a previously unknown form of mixing that occurs when large groups of dense particles settle through fluid, contradicting predictions from a long-accepted theory. A ...
