Researchers have demonstrated a video method that may make it possible to make remote, noninvasive measurements of the interaction of fluids and solid surfaces, data important to a host of phenomena ...

Research in fluid mechanics and aerodynamics includes fluid-structure interactions, unsteady fluid flows, phase-based analysis of fluid flows, rarefied gas flow, particle flow simulation, aerodynamic ...

The liquid state of matter is an intermediate phase between solid and gas. Like the particles of a solid, particles in a liquid are subject to intermolecular attraction; however, liquid particles have ...

Transmission fluid is the lifeblood of a vehicle's hardest-working parts. Selecting the correct oil prevents premature wear, ...

A team of New York University scientists has created a gear mechanism that relies on fluids to generate rotation. The invention holds potential for a new generation of mechanical devices that offer ...

Segmentation and repetition of structural motifs is a “Universal” rule of construction in biology: Nature abound in examples of segmented materials and structures including spines segmented into ...

It can sometimes feel like fluids are a bottleneck, restricting production performance. Often the answer won’t lie in costly chemical alterations to the fluid itself, but simply a better understanding ...

There is frequently a great deal of uncertainty and misinformation around heat transfer systems, including their proper use and maintenance, causing dread and anxiety among system operators. This fear ...
