Controlling the shape of fluid streams is important across scales: from industrial processing to control of biomolecular interactions. Previous approaches to control fluid streams have focused mainly ...

The dynamics of open channel flows have been the subject of extensive research, particularly in understanding how entropy applies to the velocity distribution within these systems. Entropy, a measure ...

"The UN estimates that by 2050, common bacterial infections could kill more people than cancer," says Arnold Mathijssen, a ...

Chezy and Manning developed equations that are used to determine the average volumetric flowrate in open channels. This article explains a laboratory method that was developed and tested to further ...

Developments in many modern applications are encountering rapid escalation in heat dissipation, coupled with a need to decrease the size of thermal management hardware. These developments have spurred ...

Blood may be thicker than water, but in a narrow enough tube, both liquids flow like treacle. This sluggish behaviour arises because, as you reduce the size of the channel, friction between the liquid ...
