Viscous streaming refers to the rectified, steady flows that emerge when a liquid oscillates around an immersed microfeature. Relevant to microfluidics, the resulting local, strong inertial effects ...

More precisely, we show that the corresponding nonlinear equation describing the flow of any compressible and piezo-viscous fluid can be transformed into a single linear equation. Indeed, this linear ...

A combination of efficient math and parallel computation accelerates the modeling of viscous liquid flow.

When a less viscous fluid moves in a more viscous fluid in porous media, the interface between the two fluids becomes unstable and deforms in a finger shape.

"The most exciting achievement of our study was developing the first practical application of viscous electron flow, a concept previously seen as purely theoretical," said Bandurin.

A flow vessel with an elastic wall can deform significantly due to viscous fluid flow within it, even at vanishing Reynolds number (no fluid inertia). Deformation leads to an enhancement of throughput ...
