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

Viscous sheet retraction
Nikos Savva,John W. M. Bush +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, a combined theoretical and numerical investigation of the rim-driven retraction of flat fluid sheets in both planar and circular geometries is presented, with particular attention given to the influence of the fluid viscosity on the evolution of the sheet and its bounding rim.
Journal ArticleDOI
Development, comparison, and preliminary experimental validation of nonlinear dynamic thruster models
TL;DR: In this article, the authors examined dynamical models for bladed-propeller-type marine thrusters, and proposed a simplified model for a bladed propeller type marine thruster.

Spatiotemporal Analysis of Flow-Induced Intermediate Filament Displacement in Living Endothelial Cells
TL;DR: Quantitative analysis of the spatiotemporal patterns of flow-induced IF displacement suggests redistribution of intracellular force in response to alterations in hemodynamic shear stress acting at the lumenal surface.

Convection in groundwater below an evaporating Salt Lake: 2. Evolution of fingers or plumes
TL;DR: In this paper, the downward convection of salt fingers or plumes developed from the unstable boundary layer of an evaporating "dry" salt lake is examined using a numerical model and Hele-Shaw cell experiments.

Chemical Physics of Colloid Systems and Interfaces
TL;DR: In this article, the authors consider the interaction between a Particle of Immobile Surface Interacting with a Solid Wall 5.5.2 and Fluid Particles and Films of Tangentially Mobile Surfaces.

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.
