Most hydrodynamical simulations of galaxy cluster formation carried out to date have tried to model the cosmic gas as an ideal, inviscid fluid, where only a small amount of (unwanted) numerical viscosity is present, arising from practical limitations of the numerical method employed, and with a strength that depends on numerical resolution. However, the physical viscosity of the gas in hot gala...

The quality of veterinary vaccines is monitored by physicochemical, microbiological and biological tests. Two of the most important physicochemical parameters are viscosity and density, which are determined in the three different types of matrices: emulsions, suspensions and solvents. Viscosity, known as internal friction or viscose medium, is a feature of fluids and plastic solids characterize...

Background and purpose - To further improve the success of joint replacement surgery, attention needs to be paid to variations associated with improved or worsened outcomes. We investigated the association between the type of bone cement used and the risk of revision surgery after primary total hip replacement. Methods - We conducted a prospective study of data from the National Joint Registry ...

Two-dimensional simulations of flow instability at the interface of a two-layer, density-matched, viscosity-stratified Poiseuille flow are performed using a front-tracking/finite difference method. We present results for the small-amplitude (linear) growth rate of the instability at small to medium Reynolds number for varying thickness ratio n, viscosity ratio m, and wavenumber. We also present...

flory fox, kurata-stockmayer, berry, inagaki-suzuki-kurata, stockmayer-fixman and ahmad-baloch methods based on the excluded volume theory have been applied to poly(vinyl chloride)-cyclohexanone system to obtain kq and the radius of gyration. a discussion on the reliability of these methods is given. the stockmayer-fixman and ahmad-baloch methods are found to be equally applicable.

in this paper, the measurement of the viscosity of zno in ethylene glycol, propylene glycol, mixture of ethylene glycol and water (60:40 by weight), and a mixture of propylene glycol and water (60:40 by weight) and the thermal conductivity in ethylene glycol and propylene glycol as base fluids in the range of temperature from 25 ºc to 60 ºc are investigated. the results indicate that as the tem...

invert sugar is the result of sucrose of hydrolysis of sucrose by acid or enzyme, that is, the splitting of sucrose molecules into their glucose and fructose components.invert sugar is used in different industries such as; food industry, soft drinks and pharmaceutical, due to its special characteristics such as; sweetness level, moisture ability’s property, crystallization level and special tas...

The calculation of transport properties of Fermi liquids, based on the formalism developed by Abrikosov and Khalatnikov, requires the knowledge of the probability of collisions between quasiparticles in the vicinity of the Fermi surface. We have carried out a study of the shear viscosity of pure neutron matter, whose value plays a pivotal role in determining the stability of rotating neutron st...

We utilize the bulk viscosity of interacting strange quark matter to reevaluate the damping time scale. The presence of medium effect of bulk viscosity leads to a stronger damping of rmodes, which can be over an order of magnitude for realistic parameters. We find that the r-mode instability window is narrowed due to the medium effect, and hence when a pulsar reaches the instability window it w...

The mathematical modeling of tumor growth leads to singular “stiff pressure law” limits for porous medium equations with a source term. Such asymptotic problems give rise to free boundaries, which, in the absence of active motion, are generalized Hele-Shaw flows. In this note we use viscosity solutions methods to study limits for porous medium-type equations with active motion. We prove the uni...
