Chinese researchers recently discovered a new effect that can generate spin-polarization in fluid. The new effect, which is called "shear-induced polarization (SIP)," predicts that shear flow can ...

An abrupt transition to turbulence occurs in a large variety of situations, ranging from the formation of spiral galaxies, to the fluid motion in the atmosphere and oceans, to flows over aeroplane ...

Shear transmission in granular flow is intrinsic to systems ranging from geophysical flows to industrial processing, and peculiarities in granular shear response have consequences that can be dramatic ...

Rheometry is the method used to analyze the rheological behavior of a material; with rheology defined as the study of matter when it flows or is deformed. As a result rheology describes forces and ...
