The destruction of red blood cells, or mechanical hemolysis, is an inevitable complication of interventional devices, so scientists want to gain a better understanding of the phenomenon. Researchers ...

Researchers found that peristaltic pump flow mechanically breaks supersaturation to induce amyloid formation by hen egg white lysozyme, a-synuclein, amyloid b 1-40, and b2-microglobulin. The high ...

Researchers at the University of Maryland use laser-doppler anemometry to measure velocities of a rotor and material in a mixing vat, and then verify results with a CFD (computational fluid-dynamics) ...

This is a preview. Log in through your library . Abstract In this paper, we discuss the merits of two models for the swirl velocity in the core of a confined bidirectional vortex. The first is ...

In Flow Visualization, students reveal the beauty of fluids. Flickering campfire flames, milk swirling in coffee, shape-shifting clouds: For Jean Hertzberg, they’re stunning visual manifestations of ...

Flow visualization is the process of making the physics of fluid flows (gases, liquids) visible. At the University of Colorado we have a course for mixed teams of engineering and fine arts photography ...

Airflow hazards such as turbulence, vortices, or low-level wind shear can pose a threat to landing aircraft and are especially dangerous to helicopters. Because pilots usually cannot see airflow, they ...
