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

A new way to reduce flow disturbance in endovascular stents: a numerical study.
TL;DR: The present preliminary study indicates that the optimization of the cross-sectional shape of stent wires ought to be considered in the structural design for endovascular stents.

Mathematical modelling for the new millenium: medicine by numbers.
TL;DR: It is suggested that, in the immediate future, the mathematical model will become a useful adjunct to laboratory experiment (and possibly clinical trial), and the provision of 'in silico' models will become routine.
Modeling Plasmas with Strong Anisotropy, Neutral Fluid Effects, and Open Boundaries
TL;DR: Modeling Plasmas with Strong Anisotropy, Neutral Fluid Effects, and Open Boundaries as discussed by the authors is a popular approach for modeling clouds with strong anisotropic properties.

The influence of cross-sectional channel geometry on rheology and flux estimates for active lava flows
Einat Lev,Mike R. James +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors show that the potential for error due to geometry uncertainty is minimized if a semi-elliptical cross-sectional channel shape is assumed, which can be used to bracket possible viscosity and flux estimates when channel topography is poorly constrained.
