High-viscosity fluids, on the other hand, behave quite differently. They flow slowly, resist deformation, and, in some cases, act more like solids than liquids, posing challenges when it comes to ...

This article explores viscosity terms and definitions, unraveling the intricacies of fluid behavior. Absolute Viscosity - The force required for a liquid to overcome its internal friction and commence ...

The term “Nanofluids” was first proposed by Choi of Argonne National Laboratory USA in 1995, which meant nanoparticle fluid suspensions. After which, this interdisciplinary field has developed ...

Dr. Puchades completed his Ph.D. on thermally actuated MEMS resonators to measure the viscosity of fluids in 2011. In 2016 he completed a 2-year postdoctoral appointment providing innovating insight ...

Hydraulic oil ranks high among fluids with multi-function capability. True, for sheer utility, it can’t match olive oil, which through the centuries has been used as food, lubricant, fuel, medicine, ...

Ketchup is famous for being hard to get out of the bottle even when there is plenty of it left. In fact, all liquid foods—from red wine to cooking oil—leave some residue in the container. The reason ...

If you mix cornstarch and water in the right proportions, you get “oobleck”: something that seems not-quite-liquid but also not-quite-solid. Oobleck flows and settles like a liquid when untouched, but ...

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, ...
