Crowd flow measurements reveal hidden slowdowns and standstills in dense public spaces

Short excerpt below. Click through to read at the original source.

How can public spaces remain safe when large crowds move through them? Engineers and researchers who study these environments often rely on physical models borrowed from fluid dynamics—a branch of physics that describes the collective motion of fluids, whose behavior emerges from the interactions of many particles. But a new study published in the Journal […]
