Physics first: Faster and fairer—A renewed vision for Physics of Fluids from the new co-Editors-in-Chief Physics of Fluids was founded in 1958 under its first editor, François Frenkiel, and was subsequently guided by editors such as Andreas Acrivos and later Gary L

What should #FluidMechanics papers focus on today? This editorial argues for a “physics-first” approach: beyond data and simulations, real progress comes from understanding mechanisms and scaling laws.

Splashing and break-up of high-speed drops on wetted surfaces The splashing during the high-speed impact of drops on wetted surfaces is a complex phenomenon that ejects an irregular, undulated, and bent liquid sheet. This

From smooth liquid sheets to chaotic crowns, increasing impact speed transforms droplet splashing. This work links that transition to #ReynoldsNumber and uncovers how instabilities shape droplet size and velocity.

How long does it take to get last liquid drops from kitchen containers? These physicists know the answer At some point, most people have found themselves holding a tilted carton of milk or bottle of cooking oil, patiently waiting for the last drops to drip out. Now, physicists at Brown University have do...

Using Navier-Stokes equations and simple experiments, @brown.edu physicists explored thin liquid films in the kitchen. Milk drains in ~30s, olive oil in 9+ min. Thin film physics everywhere!

Maximum Droplet Volume on Horizontal Cylindrical Surfaces The maximum volume (Ω) of a droplet that can remain attached to a horizontal fiber defines the stability limit of droplet-fiber interactions, phenomena common in nature and critical to diverse enginee...

Predicting droplet-fiber interactions is now more accurate: a validated semi-empirical model captures the maximum droplet volume across a wide range of fiber sizes and wettabilities.

Dynamics of double-droplet centered impacting a hydrophobic surface featuring a micro-ridge Upon impact, the droplets undergo spreading and receding phases, with the total duration of these processes defined as the contact time. In this study, the latt

Simulations show two droplets hitting a micro‑structured hydrophobic surface bounce differently depending on spacing and angle. This dynamic is useful for surface engineering.

... However, I quite often cook fried eggs, and it occurs to me that the "old saw" explains why it's so difficult to fish stray little bits of eggshell out of the pan, and its formal meaninglessness explains why it's not entirely impossible.
