Convective motions driven by core cooling have a structure that is three-dimensional and time-dependent. Consequently, the dynamics of the interaction between this flow and an underlying dense layer ...

I had a customer who was thermal printing strip steel. The steel is washed with solvents and blown dry. He was having a problem: When the strip's speed increased, the thermo printer would catch fire.

Turbulence makes many people uneasy or downright queasy. And it's given researchers a headache, too. Mathematicians have been trying for a century or more to understand the turbulence that arises when ...

Air–sea interaction and turbulent boundary layers lie at the heart of exchanges between the atmosphere and the ocean. This field examines the momentum, heat, and scalar transfers across the air–sea ...

If there are no shear stresses present, there is no fluid deformation, and the behavior of a fluid is described by the bulk modulus relating the pressure and the compression strain. In the presence of ...

A body moving through a fluid experiences a drag force, which is usually divided into two components: frictional drag, and pressure drag. Frictional drag comes from friction between the fluid and the ...
