A team of New York University scientists has created a gear mechanism that relies on fluids to generate rotation. The ...
US researchers have created a gear mechanism that uses fluids, rather than mechanical teeth, to generate rotation. They ...
Engineers reinvent the 5,000-year-old gear using fluids instead of solid teeth.
Mechanical heart valves are vital in restoring cardiac function in patients with valvular disease, and their performance is intimately linked to fluid dynamic phenomena. In these devices, complex flow ...
The study, published January 13 in Physical Review Letters, replaces the metal or plastic cogs of conventional gears with controlled flows of liquid. In their experiments, ...
It can sometimes feel like fluids are a bottleneck, restricting production performance. Often the answer won’t lie in costly chemical alterations to the fluid itself, but simply a better understanding ...
A real-life forensic puzzle inspired researchers to explore the physics involved, and in Physics of Fluids, they present theoretical results revealing an interaction of the incoming vortex ring of ...
Mechanical filters have been around for centuries, and modern ones can keep hydraulic and lubricating fluids clean of particles larger than 5 microns. But particles smaller than that slip by and ...
