Lattice Boltzmann simulations show that uneven wall wetting and patterned solid posts can partially separate a ...

A new theoretical study formulates electrostatics so that both the electric field and the charge density emerge together as ...

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 ...

Seven years ago, UC Santa Barbara researchers caught an unexpected phenomenon on film: A pool of red dye that somehow “knew” how to solve a maze filled with milk. Propelled forward by a couple drops ...

The complex aerodynamics around a moving car and its tires are hard to see, but not for some mechanical engineers. Specialists in fluid dynamics at Rice University and Waseda University in Tokyo have ...

Over the last several years, Northwestern Engineering’s Wesley Burghardt expanded the content in his CHEM_ENG 321: Fluid Mechanics course to emphasize the practical aspects about how fluid pumps work.

"The pipe-flow problem has always been one of the most basic and important in the study of fluid mechanics, and in many ways the field was developed to address this problem," explains Ristroph, ...

Fluid mechanics and thermal engineering concern the behaviour of liquids and gases in motion and the management of thermal energy within those flows. Central to fluid mechanics are the conservation ...

Thermo Fluid Sciences research in the Paul M. Rady Department of Mechanical Engineering is focused on a wide range of both fundamental and applied problems related to energy conversion, heat and mass ...

The flow of fluids is important in many applications ranging from blood flow in the human body to air flow over the wing of a jet aircraft. As a result, this is a required course for mechanical ...
