Editor’s note: The Basics department this month is an excerpt from the ISA book Flow of Industrial Fluids – Theory and Equations by Raymond Mulley. Some material in this section may seem self-evident ...

If you're buying an old house, beware of old galvanized steel water pipes. These pipes build up with sediment on the inside, making the inside diameter of the pipe smaller and smaller over time, ...

The banging of pipes often heard when a faucet is turned off or on is called “water hammer” and is due to the sudden arrest or reversal of direction of the water flow. Water hammer is a phenomenon ...

Fluids play a crucial role in industrial processes like cooling, heating, and mixing. Traditionally, most industries would utilize Newtonian fluids—which have a constant viscosity—for such processes.

A “non-equilibrium” formulation of LBM with the additional terms underlined helps make the team’s implementation significantly less memory hungry. Tokyo, Japan – Scientists from Tokyo Metropolitan ...

Scientists from Tokyo Metropolitan University have re-engineered the popular Lattice-Boltzmann Method (LBM) for simulating the flow of fluids and heat, making it lighter and more stable than the state ...
