Researchers at the Georgia Institute of Technology have developed and validated a new computational framework for simulating ...

Non-Newtonian fluids encompass a wide class of materials whose viscosity and stress response vary with shear rate, time or external fields, departing from the constant-viscosity behaviour of Newtonian ...

Fluid mechanics and thermal engineering concern the behaviour of liquids and gases in motion and the management of thermal energy within those flows. Central to fluid mechanics are the conservation ...

Thermal fluids will inevitably degrade over time when continually exposed to high temperatures, and the ability of thermal fluids to effectively transfer heat will diminish. Typically, the adverse ...

Each of these simulation techniques has its place for fluid problems. Here’s how to pick which is best for yours. Finite element analysis (FEA) is primarily used to predict how external forces affect ...

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, ...

Responding is Tim Powell, thermal oil specialist, Global Heat Transfer, Staffordshire, England. Manufacturers often use heat transfer systems to reach and maintain the high temperatures required for a ...
