The flow of all fluids, whether liquid or gas, will have one of three states: laminar, turbulent, and transitional. This article discusses flow principles and pressure-based flow measurement. Laminar ...

"This motivated us to search for a new law that could work for any type of fluid moving at any rate through a pipe of any size." Flows of liquids and gasses through pipes, tubes, and ducts occur in ...

Fluids play a crucial role in industrial processes like cooling, heating, and mixing. Traditionally, most industries would utilize Newtonian fluids—which have a constant viscosity—for such processes.

Textbook formulas for describing heat flow characteristics, crucial in many industries, are oversimplified, study shows. Whether it's water flowing across a condenser plate in an industrial plant, or ...

Microfluidics is an interdisciplinary field that combines principles from physics, chemistry, and engineering to create devices that can process and analyze minuscule volumes of liquids. Often, ...

From Quanta Magazine (find original story here). Spaghetti-thin shoelaces, sturdy hawsers, silk cravats—all are routinely tied in knots. So too, physicists believe, are water, air and the liquid iron ...

Driving force An experiment has confirmed that an oscillating temperature gradient boosts heat flow in fluids. (Courtesy: iStock/Mervana) Physicists in the Czech Republic have shown that heat flows ...
