Porous anodic alumina (PAA) films are formed by electrochemical oxidation of aluminium in acidic solutions 1. Since 1995, when Masuda and Fukuda demonstrated formation of films with self-organized ...

Modeling the behavior of liquids is important for a wide range of applications, from industrial processes and medical devices to computer graphics and visual simulations. However, despite many years ...

Measurements of the hydrodynamic stability of viscous flow between concentric cylinders have been made with a small rotating cylinder viscometer. The inner cylinder is rotated and the outer cylinder ...

The problem of creeping flow past a radially deforming sphere is studied within the framework of the Stokes approximation. The solution to this problem is shown to be equivalent to the solution of the ...

Physicists surprised to find that in specially coated tubes, the more viscous a liquid is, the faster it flows. It's widely known that thick, viscous liquids -- like honey -- flow more slowly than low ...

AMES, Iowa – Neal Iverson started with two lessons in ice physics when asked to describe a research paper about glacier ice flow that has just been published by the journal Science. First, said the ...

Southwest Research Institute (SwRI) has upgraded its High-Viscosity Flow Loop (HVFL) to meet increased demands in the oil and gas industry. The expanded and upgraded facility now enables SwRI to offer ...
