Nicole Sharp<p><strong>Bifurcating Waterways</strong></p><p>Your typical river has a single water basin and drains along a river or two on its way to the sea. But there are a handful of rivers and lakes that don’t obey our usual expectations. Some rivers flow in two directions. Some lakes have multiple outlets, each to a separate water basin. That means that water from a single lake can wind up in two entirely different bodies of water.</p><p>The most famous example of these odd waterways is South America’s Casiquiare River, seen running north to south in the image above. This navigable river connects the Orinoco River (flowing east to west in this image) with the Rio Negro (not pictured). Since the Rio Negro eventually joins the Amazon, the Casiquiare River’s meandering, nearly-flat course connects the continent’s two largest basins: the Orinoco and the Amazon.</p><p>For more strange waterways across the Americas, check out <a href="https://doi.org/10.1029/2024WR039824" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">this review paper</a>, which describes a total of 9 such hydrological head-scratchers.

Nicole Sharp<p><strong>Measuring Mucus by Dragging Dead Fish</strong></p><p>A fish‘s mucus layer is critical; it protects from pathogens, reduces drag in the water, and, in some cases, protects against predators. But little is known about how mucus could affect terrestrial locomotion in species like the northern snakehead, which can breathe out of the water and move across land. So researchers explored the snakehead’s mucus layer by measuring the force required to drag them (and two other non-terrestrial species) across different surfaces.</p><p>The team tested the same, freshly euthanized fish twice: once with its mucus layer intact and again once the mucus was washed off. Unsurprisingly, the fish’s friction was much lower with its mucus. But they also found that the snakehead was slipperier than either the scaled carp or the scale-free catfish. The biologists suggest that the snakehead could have evolved a slipperier mucus to help it move more easily on land, thereby extending the distance it can cover.</p><p>As a fluid dynamicist, I think fish mucus sounds like a great new playground for the rheologists among us.

Nicole Sharp<p><strong>Reclaiming the Land</strong></p><p>Lava floods human-made infrastructure on Iceland’s Reykjanes peninsula in this aerial image from photographer Ael Kermarec. Protecting roads and buildings from lava flows is a formidable challenge, but it’s one that researchers are tackling. But the larger and faster the lava flow, the harder infrastructure is to protect. Sometimes our best efforts are simply overwhelmed by nature’s power.

Nicole Sharp<p><strong>Ultra-Soft Solids Flow By Turning Inside Out</strong></p><p>Can a solid flow? What would that even look like? <a href="https://doi.org/10.1103/PhysRevLett.134.058205" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Researchers explored</a> these questions with an ultra-soft gel (think 100,000 times softer than a gummy bear) pumped through a ring-shaped annular pipe. Despite its elasticity — that tendency to return to an original shape that distinguishes solids from fluids — the gel does flow. But after a short distance, furrows form and grow along the gel’s leading edge. </p> Front view of an ultra-soft solid flowing through an annular pipe. The furrows forming along the face of the gel are places where the gel is essentially turning itself inside out. <p>Since the gel alongside the pipe’s walls can’t slide due to friction, the gel flows by essentially turning itself inside out. Inner portions of the gel flow forward and then split off toward one of the walls as they reach the leading edge. This eversion builds up lots of internal stress in the gel, and furrowing — much like crumpling a sheet of paper — relieves that stress.

Nicole Sharp<p><strong>Visualizing Unstable Flames</strong></p> <p><a class="" href="https://fyfluiddynamics.com/wp-content/uploads/thermo_instab1.gif" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"></a></p> <p><a class="" href="https://fyfluiddynamics.com/wp-content/uploads/thermo_instab2.gif" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"></a></p> <p><a class="" href="https://fyfluiddynamics.com/wp-content/uploads/thermo_instab3.png" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"></a></p> <p></p> <p>Inside a combustion chamber, temperature fluctuations can cause sound waves that also disrupt the flow, in turn. This is called a thermoacoustic instability. In this video, researchers explore this process by watching how flames move down a tube. The flame fronts begin in an even curve that flattens out and then develops waves like those on a vibrating pool. Those waves grow bigger and bigger until the flame goes completely turbulent. Visually, it’s mesmerizing. Mathematically, it’s a lovely example of <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parametric_oscillator" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">parametric resonance</a>, where the flame’s instability is fed by system’s natural harmonics.
