Rotating boundary layer dynamics is a critical field within fluid mechanics that addresses the behaviour of fluid layers adjacent to rotating surfaces. The interplay of centrifugal forces, Coriolis ...

I had a customer who was thermal printing strip steel. The steel is washed with solvents and blown dry. He was having a problem: When the strip's speed increased, the thermo printer would catch fire.

If there are no shear stresses present, there is no fluid deformation, and the behavior of a fluid is described by the bulk modulus relating the pressure and the compression strain. In the presence of ...
