Tests of a proposed friction-factor equation have shown it to be accurate for calculating pressure loss in turbulent flow for a pipeline transporting a non-Newtonian fluid, such as most crude oils and ...

You've probably heard the word "CFD" (Computational Fluid Dynamics) plenty of times when going through some technicalities inside the automotive world. In the article below, we'll try to explain how ...

David J. Silvester, a mathematics professor at the University of Manchester, has developed a novel machine-learning method to ...

Testing empirical correlations of the mixing zone between two hydrocarbons transported via pipeline against field experiments of the same can improve engineering calculations used in sizing storage ...

Scientific progress is not usually straightforward. Researchers pursue and abandon lines of inquiry. Results languish. Theories take decades to cohere. But sometimes the accumulation of scientific ...

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 ...
