However, magma's crystals and bubbles make it more likely to behave as a non-Newtonian fluid whose viscosity decreases under greater stress (known as shear thinning). That's especially true as it ...

Fluid statics, surface tension, Newtonian and non-Newtonian fluids, transport properties, shell-balances including differential form of Bernoulli equation and energy balance, equation of continuity, ...

A research team from the School of Engineering at the Hong Kong University of Science and Technology has developed a new computational model to study the movement of granular materials such as soils, ...

Laboratory facilities include a well-instrumented wind tunnel, a particle imaging velocimetry laser system for flow visualization, advanced heat transfer systems, robotics, a proton exchange membrane ...

The pressure is in kilopascals, the viscosity is in centipoise ... shock models are used to simulate the viscoelastic behavior of such materials (Figure 11). Equation 4 is Maxwell’s equation that ...

Biofluid mechanics is the study of a certain class of biological problems from a fluid mechanics point of view. Biofluid mechanics does not involve any new development of the general principles of ...

This applies to both fluids and solids with or without microstructures of mechanical or electromagnetic origin. This unmatched richness of essentially nonlinear behaviors is the result of the use of ...

We address this aspect here by investigating the stresses in the supercontinent and in the mantle, while adopting a 3-D spherical model with the pressure- and temperature-dependent viscosity and ...

The course gives a continuum description of fluids, which is based on the equations for mass conservation and momentum balance (Navier Stokes equations). Fluid mechanics is essential to a wide range ...

Representing chemical data; linear dependence; equation of the line; interpolation; parabolic behaviour; inverse proportionality (hyperbolic behaviour); Cartesian representation of a function ...
