When two fluids don't mix well, they sometimes form strange patterns called "viscous fingering," or Saffman-Taylor instability. Studying these patterns can help scientists understand how to design ...

Scientists have developed a new computer simulation model that includes microbubble nucleation to explain the flow slippage of fluids inside pipes. This work may help improve the flow rate of viscous ...

Conventional wisdom holds that an electric current never returns to its source nor follows a circular path. Instead, it flows from one electrode to another following a local electric field, obeying ...

It's widely known that thick, viscous liquids - like honey - flow more slowly than low-viscosity liquids, like water. Researchers were surprised to find this behaviour flipped on its head when the ...

Increased monitoring of foodstuffs can help to establish quality attributes in real-time during the processing stage, and so permit better process control. The efficiency of a process and the quality ...
