When the Mediterranean Dried Up
Geological evidence shows that millions of years ago, the Mediterranean Sea nearly dried out. In fluid mechanics, we’d describe this problem using one of our fundamental equations: conservation of mass, Keep reading
Physics Tattoos
This is a man with great commitment to fluid dynamics. He writes: This, on my leg, is the incompressible form of the conservation of mass equation in a fluid, also Keep reading
