With all of the advances in exotic physics, it's refreshing to see that classical mechanics still has lessons to teach us.

In this case, researchers have modeled how a small leak in a vertical pipe can seal itself. The work may lead to methods of dispensing small amounts of fluid without mechanical valves by varying the pressure in the pipe.

neat looking in with the lab at where I started some time ago.

Topic: helping define the impact of (perhaps not what one thinks it means).

Australia sure seems to pay its postdocs properly.

I pinched the image from Marco's www I'm sure he wont mind.

Fun day at work: our LDV system (from the early 1990s) was refurbished and it was installed today.

That means a whole day of playing around with lasers and computers 🎉

Grateful as always to for their continued investment in research and academic education.

leaves have surfaces that have a degree of wetability, water will either stick to a surface or it will flow off depending on the ecological needs of the leaf. Nonwetable leaves have complex surfaces that modify the surface pressure of water so it forms droplets and flows off. The reasoning and mathematics of this is explained in this video:

My question: The complex surface looks fractal, is there a scaling law going on here?

Does Nature abhor a vacuum? Called horror vacui in Latin, the idea originally came from Aristotle. If you put a cylinder with a plunger in water and pull back the plunger, the cylinder will fill with water. According to Aristotle, the water follows the plunger because it is afraid of creating a vacuum. The Italian mathematician, Evangelista Torricelli 1606 - 1647 showed this is not true with the following experiment. Take a glass and put it underwater in a basin until it fills up. Turn the glass over and pull it up out of the water’s surface so that the bottom of the glass is just below the surface of the basin water. There will be an empty space at the top of the glass. Called at the time, “Torricelli’s Emptiness” it is a real vacuum. The reason for this emptiness is pressure, formalized around the same time by Blaise Pascal. So Nature does not abhor a vacuum, Nature creates a vacuum. So why do we still say this? Is it more correct to say that human nature abhors a vacuum?

“A History and Philosophy of Fluid Mechanics” G.A. Tokaty, Dover, 1971
