NEW YORK, Jan. 27 (TNSres) -- New York University issued the following news release:
For decades scientists have been trying to solve Feynman's Sprinkler Problem: How does a sprinkler running in reverse--in which the water flows into the device rather than out of it--work? Through a series of experiments, a team of mathematicians has figured out how flowing fluids exert forces and move structures, thereby revealing the answer to this long-standing mystery.
