New experiments using trapped one-dimensional gases -- atoms cooled to the coldest temperatures in the universe and confined so that they can only move in a line -- fit with the predictions of the ...

Researchers modeled the role of hydrodynamics in liquid-liquid transitions of a single-component system. They showed that domain formation is related to the density upon transition, which can be ...

Precise simulations of the movement and behavior of crowds can be vital to the production of digital sequences or the creation of large structures for crowd management. However, the ability to ...

The use of Constructed wetlands (CWs) can be a very efficient and economic technology for wastewater treatment. They can be applied to all types of wastewaters including sewage, storm water runoff, ...

The CU Boulder Applied Mathematics Department's Dispersive Hydrodynamics Laboratory investigates nonlinear wave phenomena in fluid-like systems. The key features of systems explored include ...

Viscous free-surface flows associated with water entry were predicted by a finite volume method incorporating a free-surface capturing model. The method was applied to simulate two- and ...
