Manufacturers looking to improve the fuel economy of off-road equipment should take a lesson from the automotive industry. Straight-grade engine oils have not been approved for use in passenger cars ...

Hydraulic oil ranks high among fluids with multi-function capability. True, for sheer utility, it can’t match olive oil, which through the centuries has been used as food, lubricant, fuel, medicine, ...

Researchers are using ultrasonic waves to manipulate the viscosity of shear-thickening materials, turning solids to slush -- and back again. Researchers are using ultrasonic waves to manipulate the ...

An international research team is attracting the attention of experts in the field with computational results on the behavior of ring polymers under shear forces: They showed that for the simplest ...

The effect of fluid motion on the excitation of bioluminescence was examined for cultured dinoflagellates and plankton samples subjected to steady state laminar shear associated with simple Couette ...

This is a preview. Log in through your library . Abstract Certain rheological behaviors of fluids in engineering sciences are modeled by power law ansatz with p ∈ (1,2]. In the present paper a ...

The Vortex Particle Method (VPM), a meshless vortex flow simulation approach, is gaining traction for its efficient simulation of unsteady vortex wakes evolution that is shed by aircrafts, rotors and ...
