In industry, tanks are often agitated or stirred to mix different elements. The goal is to create a laminar but chaotic flow field throughout the mixture. Introducing particles to such Keep reading

Wavy Vortices
Shown above is the flow between two concentric cylinders (Taylor-Couette flow). In the laminar regime, the velocity profile between the two cylinders is linear. As the rate of rotation of Keep reading
Effects of Viscosity
[original media no longer available] Today’s video demonstrates the effect of viscosity, which measures a fluid’s resistance to deformation. On the left is a column of highly viscous fluid; the Keep reading
