Figure 1: A variant of classical viscous fingering. The control of interfacial instabilities is similarly applicable in expanding narrow passages. For instance, our results suggest that when a less ...

This course is usually taken by graduate students in mechancal engineering who specialize in fluid mechanics. A second course in graduate level fluid mechanics. Familiarity with Navier-Stokes ...

We present a three-dimensional model of flow driven by pumping without valves (valveless pumping) in a closed loop system in which the closed loop of tubing is immersed in an incompressible viscous ...

The motion of small particles in a viscous medium impinges on our world and our lives to such an extent that it would be true to say that the phenomenon is ubiquitous. In this article, various ...

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 ...

Tuesday is a recitation session. Registration for this session is not necessary if it conflicts with other classes. No permission is required. ME 373 is the second course in fluid mechanics for ...

When light hits the surface of some materials, namely those exhibiting a property known as photoresistance, it can induce changes in their electrical conductivity. Graphene is among these materials, ...

This question is often best answered by example. Imagine a styrofoam cup with a hole in the bottom. If I then pour honey into the cup I will find that the cup drains very slowly. That is because honey ...
