Tests of a proposed friction-factor equation have shown it to be accurate for calculating pressure loss in turbulent flow for a pipeline transporting a non-Newtonian fluid, such as most crude oils and ...

Fluid flow friction factors serve as a cornerstone in understanding and predicting the resistance encountered by fluids moving through conduits. These dimensionless parameters are essential in both ...

Anyone who has ever turned on a tap knows something about fluid dynamics. Whether a fluid is flowing through household plumbing or industrial oil and gas pipelines, when it runs slowly its flow is ...

Fluids play a crucial role in industrial processes like cooling, heating, and mixing. Traditionally, most industries would utilize Newtonian fluids—which have a constant viscosity—for such processes.

Blowing bubbles underneath a ship’s hull, causes them to be pushed against the surface. In the surface layer between the ship and water, these air bubbles cause less friction: it’s also known as air ...

Going with the flow: does an extra term lead to a better model of turbulence? (Courtesy: iStock/Mumemories) Identifying universal laws within fluid mechanics is notoriously difficult. So it has come ...

Introduction Have you ever seen a wind turbine? Wind turbines are large towers with blades on top that are spun by the wind. They are one source of clean, renewable energy. They use the movement from ...
