Experiment with non-Newtonian fluids, like ketchup and Oobleck, to determine how they react to shear stress.

For most fluids, an increase in pressure should lead to a burst of speed, like squeezing ketchup from a tube. But when flowing through porous materials such as soil or sedimentary rock, certain ...

In fluids that interact with the channel wall, flow is fastest at the centre and decreases along an approximately parabolic trend towards the solid–liquid interface.

In our recently published research, we found that human breast cancer cell migration is enhanced by the flow and viscosity of the fluids surrounding them, clarifying one of the factors influencing ...

Researchers at the Okinawa Institute of Science and Technology Graduate University (OIST) have brought us one step closer by demonstrating how viscoelastic fluids flow over wavy surfaces, and ...

Put two types of sand grains together in a chamber, and they can flow like fluids under the right conditions.
