Researchers have shown that the injection of a thin or low-viscosity fluid into a much more viscous fluid (think of water spurting into molasses) will cause the two fluids to mix very quickly via a ...

Fluid mixing is an important part of several industrial processes and chemical reactions. However, the process often relies on trial-and-error-based experiments instead of mathematical optimization.

Fluid dynamics and mixing theory constitute a central area in applied mathematics and engineering, addressing the mechanisms by which substances are transported and homogenised in fluid flows. This ...

When you buy through links on our articles, Future and its syndication partners may earn a commission. Computer simulations showing how two immiscible fluids with different viscosities interact. | ...

Fluid mixing and mass transfer in agitated systems are central to many industrial and biotechnological processes. Mechanical agitation enables efficient homogenisation in reactors and bioreactors, ...

When you stir cream into your cup of coffee, you would amazed to see the two fluids return to where they started simply by reversing the direction of stirring. However, a team of physicists in the US ...

Surf the internet for long enough and you'll run into a recipe for a mix that's explosive, or at least as fiery as a dragon. Brake fluid and chlorine is an example as good as any, one that has ...

Refilling windshield washer fluid is one of those basic-but-critical maintenance jobs that directly affects your safety every time you drive. Clear visibility matters, yet plenty of drivers still ...

Getting two fluids to mix in small or confined spaces is a big problem in many industries where, for instance, the introduction of one fluid can help extract another — like water pumped underground ...

Mixing of fluids is a critical component in many industrial and chemical processes. Pharmaceutical mixing and chemical reactions, for instance, may require homogeneous fluid mixing. Achieving this ...

Researchers from Japan adopt a reinforcement learning-based approach to study the process of fluid mixing during laminar flow Fluid mixing is an important part of several industrial processes and ...
