Shocked Jets
Breaking a jet of liquid into droplets lies at the heart of many industrial processes: spray painting, fuel injection, and asthma inhalers, to name a few. Here, researchers are looking at a different method of breaking up a liquid jet: shooting a shock wave along its length. (Image credit: S. Rao et al.)
Supersonic Jet Interaction
When supersonic jets get emitted into rarefied air, they behave differently than they do in regular atmospheric conditions. (Image credit: S. Lee et al.)
Liquid Pulleys and Gears
In mechanical systems, gears and pulleys transmit rotation from one location to another. Here, researchers explore a fluid dynamical version of such systems. (Image credit: J. Smith et al.)
Plucking Droplets
A sudden breeze can pluck droplets hanging from a stem. Here, researchers recreate that phenomenon in the laboratory. With a close-up view and high-speed images, we can enjoy every detail of the detachment and break-up. (Video and image credit: D. Maity et al.)
"Sidewall Symphony"
Flow visualization is both an art and science in fluid dynamics. Here, researchers were interested in studying the separation bubble that forms over a backward-facing ramp--a shape that shows up, for example, on an aircraft. (Image and research credit: B. Steinfurth et al.; see also here)
Understanding Fish and Turbines
Fish detect turbulence in the water around them; among other things, this helps them avoid colliding with objects. Here, researchers are looking to understand how fish interact with underwater turbines. (Video and image credit: H. Seyedzadeh et al.)

Shocking Fizzy Jets
Many industrial processes break a fluid jet into droplets, like spray painting and ink-jet printing. Here, researchers examine an effervescent fluid jet made up of both liquid and gas. (Video and image credit: S. Rao et al.)

Bursting an Oobleck Bubble
When soap bubbles burst, the hole grows as an expanding circle. But not every fluid bursts this same way. (Video and image credit: X. Zhang et al.)
