  2. Microfluidics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Microfluidics

    The behavior of fluids and their control in open microchannels came into focus around 2005 [11] and applied in air-to-liquid sample collection [12] [13] and chromatography. [14] In open microfluidics , at least one boundary of the system is removed, exposing the fluid to air or another interface (i.e. liquid).

  3. Non-Newtonian fluid - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Non-Newtonian_fluid

    Flubber, also commonly known as slime, is a non-Newtonian fluid, easily made from polyvinyl alcohol–based glues (such as white "school" glue) and borax. It flows under low stresses but breaks under higher stresses and pressures. This combination of fluid-like and solid-like properties makes it a Maxwell fluid.

  4. Nanofluidics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nanofluidics

    For example, these physical constraints induce regions of the fluid to exhibit new properties not observed in bulk, e.g. vastly increased viscosity near the pore wall; they may effect changes in thermodynamic properties and may also alter the chemical reactivity of species at the fluid-solid interface.

  5. Computational fluid dynamics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Computational_fluid_dynamics

    Computational fluid dynamics (CFD) is a branch of fluid mechanics that uses numerical analysis and data structures to analyze and solve problems that involve fluid flows. Computers are used to perform the calculations required to simulate the free-stream flow of the fluid, and the interaction of the fluid ( liquids and gases ) with surfaces ...

  6. Magnetorheological fluid - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magnetorheological_fluid

    A magnetorheological fluid (MR fluid, or MRF) is a type of smart fluid in a carrier fluid, usually a type of oil. When subjected to a magnetic field , the fluid greatly increases its apparent viscosity , to the point of becoming a viscoelastic solid. [ 1 ]

  7. Fluid mechanics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fluid_mechanics

    Fluid mechanics is the branch of physics concerned with the mechanics of fluids (liquids, gases, and plasmas) and the forces on them. [1]: 3 It has applications in a wide range of disciplines, including mechanical, aerospace, civil, chemical, and biomedical engineering, as well as geophysics, oceanography, meteorology, astrophysics, and biology.

  8. Viscosity models for mixtures - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Viscosity_models_for_mixtures

    This will result in another viscosity value if the fluid is a non-Newtonian fluid such as paint, but it will give the same viscosity value for a Newtonian fluid such as water, petroleum oil or gas. If another parameter like temperature, T {\displaystyle T} , is changed, and the experiment is repeated with the same force, a new value for ...

  9. Fluid inclusion - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fluid_inclusion

    Fluid inclusions trapped in veins and minerals have been used as a proxy to explore the deformation history in orogenic belts. [11] As fluid activities are considerably more in shear zones in an orogenic belt, the fluid inclusions in a shear zone have been also used to explore the seismic activities during the evolution of the shear zone.
