Researchers thought that what enabled complex fluids to break apart was their elasticity. But a crack in a nonelastic simple ...

"People know there is a lot of fluid between cells in tissues, but how important that is, in particular in tissue deformation, is completely ignored," says Ming Guo, associate professor of mechanical ...

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.

Unlike lithium-ion batteries, flow batteries can’t catch fire (as they are mostly water) and are extremely durable.

Blood may be thicker than water, but in a narrow enough tube, both liquids flow like treacle. This sluggish behaviour arises because, as you reduce the size of the channel, friction between the liquid ...

Tests of a proposed friction-factor equation have shown it to be accurate for calculating pressure loss in turbulent flow for a pipeline transporting a non-Newtonian fluid, such as most crude oils and ...

If you’ve ever whacked the bottom of a ketchup bottle to get that tasty tomato goop flowing, you’ve put some serious physics to work. Ketchup is a non-Newtonian fluid. So are toothpaste, yogurt, ...
