Viscous streaming refers to the rectified, steady flows that emerge when a liquid oscillates around an immersed microfeature. Relevant to microfluidics, the resulting local, strong inertial effects ...

The international collaborative team of Tokyo University of Agriculture and Technology (TUAT) in Japan and Indian Institute of Technology Ropar (IIT Ropar) in India has explored, for the first time, ...

This paper considers the steady two-dimensional radial flow of viscous fluid between plane walls which either converge or diverge. A general solution is obtained in terms of elliptic functions and the ...

WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. — A blood vessel is an elastic tube, and its changing shape affects the properties of the fluid flowing inside it. Conversely, the fluid flow itself also affects the shape of the ...

When light hits the surface of some materials, namely those exhibiting a property known as photoresistance, it can induce changes in their electrical conductivity. Graphene is among these materials, ...

The many applications of flow measurement include uses in water supply, medical research, oil exploration, food processing and distribution of gas. The uses of this technology are very diverse, with ...

An important observation is that fluid flow is always irreversible. It is irreversible because fluids have viscosity, and whenever velocity gradients appear in the flow there will be friction and ...

Fluid dynamics is "the branch of applied science that is concerned with the movement of liquids and gases," according to the American Heritage Dictionary. Fluid dynamics is one of two branches of ...

A viscous bubble film with sufficiently large viscosity will collapse under the force of surface tension. Credit: Oliver McRae What causes a bubble to burst? For bubbles on the surface of viscous ...
