What governs the speed at which raindrops fall, sediment settles in river estuaries, and matter is ejected during a supernova? These questions circle around one, deceitfully simple factor: the rate at ...

One of the most influential science studies of all time started with a modest minicomputer, some simulated boxes of water molecules, and a grand vision for computer-aided chemistry. The year was 1982.

A wave breaks on the shore, sending up splashes of water and spray and creating eddies in the surrounding air. However, the digital simulation of this everyday natural occurrence is anything but ...

In molecular dynamics simulations of water systems, where water molecules are treated as rigid bodies, it is important to use a small time-step. This small time-step helps ensure that the average ...

Ice cubes float in water because they’re less dense than the liquid. But a newfound type of ice has a density nearly equal to what’s in your water glass, researchers report in the Feb. 3 Science. If ...

In engineering, understanding how different elements of physics interact can make all the difference between a crappy design and superior performance. Whether designing the heating element of a kettle ...

Luminary is rethinking physics simulation workflows spanning GPU clusters from the ground up. The new company hopes the new architecture and business model will impact the simulation industry as much ...

The product development process can be improved with single-physics simulation, multiphysics simulation and simulation apps. This article looks at three real-world examples that show how integrating ...
