  2. Hele-Shaw flow - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hele-Shaw_flow

    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 ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Henry_Selby_Hele-Shaw

    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.

  4. Masaru Emoto - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Masaru_Emoto

    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. [9]

  5. Pascal's law - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pascal's_law

    Pressure in water and air. Pascal's law applies for fluids. Pascal's principle is defined as: A change in pressure at any point in an enclosed incompressible fluid at rest is transmitted equally and undiminished to all points in all directions throughout the fluid, and the force due to the pressure acts at right angles to the enclosing walls.

  6. Dispersion (water waves) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dispersion_(water_waves)

    Dispersion of gravity waves on a fluid surface. Phase and group velocity divided by shallow-water phase velocity √ gh as a function of relative depth h / λ. Blue lines (A): phase velocity; Red lines (B): group velocity; Black dashed line (C): phase and group velocity √ gh valid in shallow water.

  7. Einstellung effect - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Einstellung_effect

    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 ...

  8. Collapsing can - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Collapsing_can

    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.

  9. Water thread experiment - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Water_thread_experiment

    The water thread experiment is a phenomenon that occurs when two containers of deionized water, placed on an insulator, are connected by a thread, then a high-voltage positive electric charge is applied to one container, and a negative charge to the other. At a critical voltage, an unsupported water liquid bridge is formed between the ...
