"We found that sipping through a straw defies all the previously known laws for the resistance or friction of flow through a pipe or tube," explains Leif Ristroph, an associate professor at New York ...

One of the most familiar techniques for teaching elementary electricity is to compare the flow of electrons through wires to the passage of fluids through pipes. The analogy is so valid that ...

WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. — A blood vessel is an elastic tube, and its changing shape affects the properties of the fluid flowing inside it. Conversely, the fluid flow itself also affects the shape of the ...

Fluids play a crucial role in industrial processes like cooling, heating, and mixing. Traditionally, most industries would utilize Newtonian fluids—which have a constant viscosity—for such processes.
