Pressing Non-Newtonian Fluids
For many fluids, the relationship between force and deformation is not simple. The catch-all name for these materials is non-Newtonian fluids. In a recent episode, the Hydraulic Press Channel did Keep reading

If you’ve ever left a sealed container of Playdoh untouched for months, you know that there’s a big difference between the fresh stuff and what’s left in that can. Aging Keep reading
What happens when a stream of liquid falls through a screen? As the above video shows, water creates a beautiful flower-like burst of fluid when it hits a screen. Adding Keep reading
Here’s to another fluids round-up, our look at some of the interesting fluids-related stories around the web: – Above is a music video by Roman Hill that relies on mixing and Keep reading
Non-Newtonian fluids are capable of all kinds of counter-intuitive behaviors. The animations above demonstrate one of them: the tubeless or open siphon. Once the effect is triggered by removing some Keep reading
Not all vortex rings are created equal. Despite identical generation mechanisms and Reynolds numbers, the two vortex rings shown above behave very differently. The donut-shaped one, on the top left Keep reading
It’s a big fluids round-up today, so let’s get right to it. Over at txchnologist, there’s a great article on controlling combustion instabilities in rocket engines with sound. Quanta Magazine Keep reading
Fluids round-up time! I missed out last weekend because of the holidays, so this is a long list of links. There’s a lot of really great stuff here, including some Keep reading
