We studied the flow and physical properties of hydraulic body fluid spiders. Our results suggest that this fluid, which drives leg extension, is shear-thinning. This interesting characteristic could inspire systems for soft-robotics.

Joints within the Catskill Delta complex are believed to be natural hydraulic fractures and abundant indirect evidence supports this claim. The indirect evidence is based on many observations of joint surface morphology and joint spacing among other features. The Alleghanian orogeny left a unique imprint on the joint surfaces also, indicating a rotating horizontal compressive stress field. Nume...

In this paper, we study two problems describing small motions of partially dissipative hydraulic systems. The first problem concerns a system consisting viscoelastic fluid and barotropic gas located above the fluid; second “viscoelastic fluid–ideal fluid” in an immovable vessel. Using operator approach developed previous works authors, reduce both to Cauchy for differential-operator equation Hi...

We analyse a problem of hydraulic fracture driven by non-Newtonian shear-thinning fluid. Fluid viscosity is described the four-parameter truncated power-law model. By varying parameters rheological model we investigate spatial and temporal evolution fluid flow inside crack resulting geometry. A detailed quantitative qualitative analysis underlying physical phenomena delivered. The results demon...

The main purpose of this special edition “Advances in Fluid Power Systems” was to present new scientific work the field fluid power systems for hydraulic and pneumatic control machines devices that are used various industries [...]

There has been little interest in the application of hydraulic fracture treatment in Iranian oil fields, thanks to the primarily suitable production rates of the vast oil fields. In this paper, hydraulic fracturing treatment was simulated by different models for a carbonate reservoir in the southwest of Iran. Suitable pay zones were nominated based on the lithology, water-oil saturation, geomec...
