The splashes from droplets impacting jets create truly mesmerizing liquid sculptures. Corrie White is one of the masters of this type of high-speed macro photography. Her work captures the...

One of the most iconic images in fluid dynamics is that of a drop impacting a liquid. When a drop hits a pool, it creates a crater, or cavity. That cavity expands and then collapses to form a jet that...

Farmers have long noted a correlation between rainstorms and disease outbreaks among plants. Fungal parasites known as "rust" can grow particularly rampant following rain events, eating away at the leaves of wheat and potentially depleting crop harvests.

We often think of raindrops as spherical or tear-shaped, but, in reality, a falling droplet’s shape can be much more complicated. Large drops are likely to break up into smaller droplets before...

In the collage above, successive frames showing the bouncing and break-up of liquid droplets impacting a solid inclined surface coated with a thin layer of high-viscosity fluid have been superposed....

Everyone has seen drops of liquid falling onto a dry surface, yet the process is still being unraveled by researchers. We have learned, for example, that lowering the ambient air pressure can...

Our atmosphere is full of aerosols - extremely tiny particles and droplets of salt, dust, pollutants, and other substances. Wind’s effects alone cannot account for the sizes and quantities of aerosols...
