        <title>Fluid dynamics in sports | Engineering Explained</title>
        <link>https://news.vt.edu/videos/y/2026/02/iGqrQr8Lg-E.html</link>
        <description><![CDATA[ What is fluid dynamics? How does it connect to aerodynamics and hydrodynamics? And what does it have to do with sports? Christopher Roy, professor in the Kevin T. Crofton Department of Aerospace and Ocean Engineering at Virginia Tech, studies computational fluid dynamics and the accuracy of computer models used to predict how fluids move. With experience in aerodynamics as both a triathlete and a researcher, Roy brings a unique perspective to how fluid dynamics shapes athletic performance. Are elite athletes unknowingly applying the principles of science every time they compete? Watch to find out. Want to learn more?
