unusual facts about Viscosity



Aularches miliaris

If its thorax is pinched, it also squirts a clear viscous mucus with unpleasant smell and a bitter taste, faintly alkaline, with many embedded bubbles.

Boussinesq approximation

Turbulence modeling and eddy viscosity: in modelling the turbulence Reynolds stresses, the Boussinesq approximation results in the use of an eddy viscosity concept

Cebeci

Cebeci–Smith model, a viscosity model used in computational fluid dynamics analysis

Chandrasekhar number

The Chandrasekhar number is a dimensionless quantity used in magnetic convection to represent ratio of the Lorentz force to the viscosity.

Custom-fit

The High Viscosity Inkjet printing developed by TNO has the capability of printing with one or more materials with graded structures in a single process using additive technology.

Dilatant

Rheopecty is a similar property in which viscosity increases with cumulative stress or agitation over time.

Frank Matthews Leslie

He is remembered for the Ericksen–Leslie theory he developed with Jerald Ericksen to describe the viscosity of mesophases associated with liquid crystals.

Halil Mete Soner

Soner co-authored a book, with Wendell Fleming, on viscosity solutions and stochastic control; Controlled Markov Processes and Viscosity Solutions (Springer-Verlag) in 1993, which was listed among the most-cited articles on computer science by Thomson Science in 2004.

Implicit solvation

Viscosity may be added back by using Langevin dynamics instead of Hamiltonian dynamics and choosing an appropriate damping constant for the particular solvent.

Lattice Boltzmann methods

It is therefore common to raise the lattice Mach number to something much larger than the real Mach number, and compensating for this by raising the viscosity as well in order to preserve the Reynolds number.

Leo Ubbelohde

He was the inventor of a suspended-level viscometer used for determining kinetic viscosity, known today as a "Ubbelohde viscometer".

Louis Moresi

His particular emphasis was on the role of temperature-dependent viscosity and partial melting for both Earth and Venus.

This is a 2D and 3D Eulerian Finite Element code which is designed to solve problems with extremely large variations in viscosity.

Magnetic fluid

Magnetorheological fluid, a fluid that changes viscosity when subjected to a magnetic field.

Michael Creeth

James Michael Creeth (3 October 1924 – 15 January 2010) was an English biochemist whose experiments on DNA viscosity confirming the existence of hydrogen bonds between the purine and pyrimidine bases of DNA were crucial to Watson and Crick's discovery of the double helix structure of DNA.

Petroleum product

Lubricants (produces light machine oils, motor oils, and greases, adding viscosity stabilizers as required), usually shipped in bulk to an offsite packaging plant.

Rheological fluids based firearms mechanisms

An RB-MECHANISM controls the recoil and the reloading process by altering the viscosity of a rheological fluid, or "smart fluid," to control the force necessary to accelerate a piece of ammunition to high speeds.
