Bayreuth physicists provide new insights into particle motion
Physicists at the University of Bayreuth have investigated the so‑called history force acting on particles in fluids. Owing to the difficulty of calculating it, this force is often neglected — a fact that Bayreuth doctoral researcher Frederik Gareis already identified as a secondary school pupil during a student research project with his supervisor. The researchers report their new findings on the history force in the renowned journal Physical Review Fluids. ...more
