Traditional viscometers rely on capillary flow, and falling balls are simple and effective means for measuring fluid viscosity over a large range. However, their low measurement throughput and lack of ...

Research shows that in 2D simulated fluids, upward-flowing swarms of bubbles, a mathematical relationship describing the nature of flows in their wake, previously thought to be universal, actually ...

Scientists have developed a new computer simulation model that includes microbubble nucleation to explain the flow slippage of fluids inside pipes. This work may help improve the flow rate of viscous ...

The monitoring of highly viscous fluids such as cola syrup can be problematic. So say some catering operations that report they don't charge for up to 25% of their cola due to inaccurate metering.

Conventional wisdom holds that an electric current never returns to its source nor follows a circular path. Instead, it flows from one electrode to another following a local electric field, obeying ...

Scientists have wielded ultrasonic waves to print droplets of liquids that are more than 1,000 times as viscous as the inks jetting from standard printers (Sci. Adv. 2018, DOI: 10.1126/sciadv.aat1659) ...

It's widely known that thick, viscous liquids - like honey - flow more slowly than low-viscosity liquids, like water. Researchers were surprised to find this behaviour flipped on its head when the ...

ABB's FPD470 Wedgemeter series measures gas, liquids, and steam. They contain a solid V-shaped flow restriction which makes them highly robust. The FPD470 wedge meters are bi-directional and mainly ...

Increased monitoring of foodstuffs can help to establish quality attributes in real-time during the processing stage, and so permit better process control. The efficiency of a process and the quality ...

Researchers have investigated the fluid dynamics of Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) moving through gastric mucus using a 3D model and a magnetic field. H. pylori uses its corkscrew-like tail to move ...
