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

Effect of Surface Roughness on Heat Transfer and Fluid Flow Characteristics at Low Reynolds Numbers in Small Diameter Tubes
TL;DR: The effect of surface roughness on pressure drop and heat transfer in circular tubes has been extensively studied in literature as discussed by the authors, and a detailed experimental study is undertaken to investigate the roughness effects in small diameter tubes.
Journal ArticleDOI
Design and Characterization of Artificial Haircell Sensor for Flow Sensing With Ultrahigh Velocity and Angular Sensitivity
TL;DR: In this article, an artificial hair cell (AHC) sensor with a high-aspect-ratio cilium attached at the distal end of the cantilever is presented.
Journal ArticleDOI
The Tubercles on Humpback Whales' Flippers: Application of Bio-Inspired Technology
TL;DR: Experimental analysis of finite wing models has demonstrated that the presence of tubercles produces a delay in the angle of attack until stall, thereby increasing maximum lift and decreasing drag and providing a bio-inspired design that has commercial viability for wing-like structures.
Journal ArticleDOI
On-microchip multiphase chemistry - a review of microreactor design principles and reagent contacting modes
TL;DR: In this article, the design and operation of liquid-liquid and gas-liquid immiscible systems depend mainly on the method of dispersion/phase contacting, whilst gas liquid and gas liquid systems depend not only on the phase contacting, but also on the solid integration principles employed.
