The flow of fluids is important in many applications ranging from blood flow in the human body to air flow over the wing of a jet aircraft. As a result, this is a required course for mechanical ...

In three spatial dimensions, it is a close relative of the quark-gluon plasma, the super-hot state of matter that hasn’t existed since the tiniest fraction of a second after the big bang that started ...

WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. – New research findings are yielding insights into the physics behind the swimming behavior of bacteria and spermatozoa that could lead to a better understanding of the mechanisms ...

SIAM Journal on Applied Mathematics, Vol. 67, No. 1 (2006), pp. 279-304 (26 pages) The Stokesian flow field induced by a spherical particle that undergoes a slow rotational and translational motion in ...

Fault zones play a key role in shaping the deformation of the Earth's crust. All of these zones contain fluids, which heavily influence how earthquakes propagate. In an article published today in ...

University of Queensland researchers have created a microscopic "ocean" on a silicon chip to miniaturize the study of wave ...

New research findings show how higher viscosity, or resistance to flow, of the extracellular fluid that surrounds cells enables cancer cells to migrate more rapidly from a primary tumor to other sites ...

Researchers from Australia’s University of Queensland have made a microscopic “ocean” on a silicon chip to miniaturise the ...

Scientists have demonstrated that the viscosity of fluids present in faults has a direct effect on the intensity of earthquakes. Fault zones play a key role in shaping the deformation of the Earth's ...
