Although water’s shear viscosity is important in accurate molecular dynamics modeling, the results from two popular water models differ from those of actual experiments by as much as 20%. In a recent ...

Water models enable the simulation of the behavior of water molecules in a volume and the calculation of important micro- and macroscopic properties from the observed interactions. This study ...

Flow curves of polymer melts (the graph of viscosity versus shear rate in the log-log scale) have two distinct behaviors governed by Newtonian and Power law. The Newtonian behavior dominates at very ...

An international research team is attracting the attention of experts in the field with computational results on the behavior of ring polymers under shear forces: Reyhaneh Farimani, University of ...

What do paint, dishwasher detergent, ketchup and blood have in common? All are composed of particles suspended in a carrier liquid and flow when stirred or forced, but remain thick or even gel-like at ...

A low-shear-rate version of the BiODE solid-state ViSmart viscosity sensor instantaneously measures samples of fluids with low- to mid-range viscosities. The sensor provides continuous, real-time, ...

If you’ve ever whacked the bottom of a ketchup bottle to get that tasty tomato goop flowing, you’ve put some serious physics to work. Ketchup is a non-Newtonian fluid. So are toothpaste, yogurt, ...

An international research team is attracting the attention of experts in the field with computational results on the behavior of ring polymers under shear forces: They showed that for the simplest ...
