New Study on Odour Boundaries Published in Physica D

Fri, 18 Jul 2025 00:00:00 +0000

Dr Lan’s latest study, Flow-induced variations in odour boundary formation, examines how odours spread in moving air through flow simulations. The research found that stronger airflow speeds narrow and stabilise odour boundaries, offering insights for biological tracking studies and the development of odour-sensing robots in complex environments.
