Rotameter flow meters are devices that can measure the flowrate of liquids and gases. Generally, the rotameter is a tube made of plastic, glass or metal combined with a float, which responds linearly ...

Our primary motive was to clarify the instability and uncover the fundamental characteristics of BFS flow in viscoelastic fluids through experiments," says Dr. Hara.

This creates a breathlike cycle of inhalation and exhalation. To study flow patterns in the system, the group added small red polystyrene spheres to the fluid flowing through tubes.

The streamline flow of a gas through a narrow capillary tube departs slightly from the normal Meyer equation due to 'slip' of the gas at the wall.

The effect of scalariform perforation plates on the flow of water through plant vessels remains poorly understood. In this study, a new computational tool based on finite element method solutions to ...
