Explaining what exactly is wind shear and how it impacts the development of tropical cyclones.

As it moves toward Louisiana, Tropical Storm Francine will be stifled as it is buffeted by an upper-level disturbance. That system is expected to cause "vertical shear," a difference in wind speed ...

Shear flow dynamics in blood rheology is a critical area of research that investigates how varying flow stresses affect the deformation, aggregation, and distribution of blood cells.

Many medical devices for treating heart failure generate nonphysiological shear flow. This can trigger the destruction of red blood cells after implantation of ventricular assist devices (VADs ...
