Phase-plane and small-parameter asymptotic techniques are used to analyze systems of ordinary differential equations that describe the transient behavior of non-Newtonian fluids in shear flow. These ...

An international research team is attracting the attention of experts in the field with computational results on the behavior of ring polymers under shear forces: They showed that for the simplest ...

Researchers are using ultrasonic waves to manipulate the viscosity of shear-thickening materials, turning solids to slush -- and back again. Researchers are using ultrasonic waves to manipulate the ...

Rheometry is the method used to analyze the rheological behavior of a material; with rheology defined as the study of matter when it flows or is deformed. As a result rheology describes forces and ...

Blood may be thicker than water, but in a narrow enough tube, both liquids flow like treacle. This sluggish behaviour arises because, as you reduce the size of the channel, friction between the liquid ...

Mechanical ventilation saves lives, but the airflow it produces inside an intubated airway can also shape conditions linked to complications during ...

A study by SUNY Polytechnic Institute faculty Dr. Aarthi Sekaran and Dr. Ahmed Abdelaal shows that endotracheal tube cuff ...
