Hele-Shaw flow is defined as flow taking place between two parallel flat plates separated by a narrow gap satisfying certain conditions, named after Henry Selby Hele-Shaw, who studied the problem in 1898. [1] [2] Various problems in fluid mechanics can be approximated to Hele-Shaw flows and thus the research of these flows is of importance ...
The simplest case of the instability arises at a planar interface within a porous medium or Hele-Shaw cell, and was treated by Saffman and Taylor [1] but also earlier by other authors. [6] A fluid of viscosity μ 1 {\displaystyle \mu _{1}} is driven in the x {\displaystyle x} -direction into another fluid of viscosity μ 2 {\displaystyle \mu ...
This photo of Henry Selby Hele-Shaw appeared in Page's Magazine, August 1902.. Henry Selby Hele-Shaw FRS [1] (1854–1941) was an English mechanical and automobile engineer. He was the inventor of the variable-pitch propeller, which contributed to British success in the Battle of Britain in 1940, [citation needed] and he experimented with flows through thin cells.
Collapsing can or can crusher experiment is a demonstration of an aluminum can being crushed by atmospheric pressure. Due to the low pressure inside a can as compared to the pressure outside, the pressure outside exerts a force on the can causing the can to collapse.
Emoto claimed that water was a "blueprint for our reality" and that emotional "energies" and "vibrations" could change its physical structure. [14] His water crystal experiments consisted of exposing water in glasses to various words, pictures, or music, then freezing it and examining the ice crystals' aesthetic properties with microscopic photography.

An example water jar puzzle. The water jar test, first described in Abraham S. Luchins' 1942 classic experiment, [1] is a commonly cited example of an Einstellung situation. . The experiment's participants were given the following problem: there are 3 water jars, each with the capacity to hold a different, fixed amount of water; the subject must figure out how to measure a certain amount of ...
