TLDR
A fluid is a substance in which the constituent molecules are free to move relative to each other, and in a solid, the relative positions of molecules remain essentially fixed under non-destructive conditions of temperature and pressure.Abstract:
A fluid is a substance in which the constituent molecules are free to move relative to each other Conversely, in a solid, the relative positions of molecules remain essentially fixed under non-destructive conditions of temperature and pressure While these definitions classify matter into fluids and solids, the fluids subdivide further into liquid and gasesread more

Investigations in novel regenerator concepts for use in a small motor-vehicle gas-turbine engine
TL;DR: Wilson et al. as discussed by the authors reported experimental and theoretical investigations of regenerator concepts and developed a small (100-200kW) high-efficiency regenerative gas-turbine engine for motor vehicles.

Experimental characterisation of bubbly flow using MRI
TL;DR: In this article, the authors describe the first application of ultra-fast magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) towards the characterisation of bubble flow systems, using drift-flux analysis by supplying experimental closure for those parameters which are considered difficult to measure by conventional means.

On the Reynolds transport theorem for three phase systems with storage in interfaces
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors developed the Reynolds transport theorem (RTT) for three phase systems in terms associated with a moving control vol- ume, and derived specific forms of the RTT for multiphase systems, such as fixed control volume, surface systems and homogeneous spa- tial systems.

The Integrable Dynamics of Discrete and Continuous Curves
Adam Doliwa,Paolo Maria Santini +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, it was shown that the motion of a continuous curve takes place in the N dimensional sphere of radius R and the curve does not stretch during the motion, and the equations of the dynamics do not depend explicitly on the radius of the sphere.

Mechanics of Fluids
TL;DR: In this article, the authors present fundamental concepts and principles governing fluids in motion problems, including the Momentum Equation (ME) and the Laminar Flow between Solid Boundaries (LFL) problems.

Experiments with Fluid Friction in Roughened Pipes
C. F. Colebrook,C. M. White +1 more
TL;DR: Nikuradse as discussed by the authors showed that the resistance law of the Karman-Prandtl theory for smooth surfaces was satisfactorily satisfied with respect to the size of roughness grains.
