Sperm whale compared with sperm: Fluid dynamics
Sperm whales, sperm, the Reynolds number, Osborne Reynolds, Ed Purcell, and bacteria all figure in this short, clear video prepared by Aatish Bahaia and Brad Purnell:
Birth-Fluid Dynamics, and the Splashy Hydrodynamics of Urination
Aatish Bhatia (of Empirical Zeal) alerts us to an outpouring of soon-to-be-announced birth-centric and micturation-modulation fluid dynamics insights. Anne Staples [pictured here], of Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University, will chair a session on “Pumping Phenomenon“, at the American Physical Society’s 66th Annual Meeting of the APS Division of Fluid Dynamics,in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, on Sunday, […]
The “Cracking the Egg Sprinkler Mystery” video
Flora Lichtman’s video shows how two scientists connected eggs and milk to produce a pump. The video uses other, better ways to describe the situation. Click on the image, and be whisked to the Science Friday web site, to see the video: Some background info, from Science Friday: When engineer Tadd Truscott was in grad […]
