Accurately monitoring the flow of fluids injected downhole to enhance oil recovery is critical for improving the efficiency of reservoir production methods. Current software uses streamline ...

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 ...

Fluid-Implicit-Particle or FLIP is a method for simulating particle interactions in fluid dynamics, commonly used in visual effects for its speed. [Nick] adapted this technique into an impressive FLIP ...

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, ...

Controlling the flow Vortex-induced heat backflow (top) in a simulated 2D graphite strip, compared with conventional heat flow (bottom). (Courtesy: 2026 THEOS EPFL CC BY SA) We are all familiar with ...
