Fluid How

Liquids are able to flow. Complicated stream patterns arise, dependent on geometric shape of the surrounding of the liquid and of the initial conditions. Physicists tend to simplify things by considering well-defined situations. What could be the simplest configurations where flow occurs Suppose we had two parallel plates and a liquid drop squeezed in between. Let us keep the lower plate at rest and move the upper plate at constant velocity in a parallel direction, so that the plate separation distance keeps constant. Near each of the plates, the velocities of the liquid and the plate are equal due to the friction between plate and liquid. Hence a velocity field that describes the stream builds up, (Fig. 15). In the simplest case the velocity is linear in the spatial coordinate perpendicular to the plates. It is a shear flow, as different planes of liquid slide over each other. This is true for a simple as well as for a complex fluid. But what will happen to the mesoscopic structure of a complex fluid How is it affected Is it destroyed or can it even be built up For a review of theories and experiments, see Ref. 122. Let us look into some recent works.

A summary of the sources and fates of fatty acids and ketone bodies is presented in Figure 7.1 and Table 7.1. A major problem with long-chain fatty acids and TAGs is their lack of solubility in the aqueous medium of the blood and interstitial fluid. How this is overcome for fatty acids is discussed in this chapter, and for triacylglycerol in Chapter 11. Unfortunately, the need to transport relatively large quantities of triacylglycerol in the blood can lead to pathological problems (Chapter 11). 

Ordinary foams from detergent solutions are initially thick (measured in micrometers), and, as the fluid hows away, due to gravity or capillary forces or surface evaporation, the him becomes thinner (by a few hundred angstroms). 

Hydraulic separation depends on a process called jigging, which creates a panicle siratifiealion from an alternate expansion and compaction of a bed of panicles by a pulsating fluid How. As originally developed, a baskel tilled with material was moved up and down in a lank filled with water. The more modem Baum jig process utilizes an air impulse concept in which the water is moved hy air pressure front an adjacent sealed chamber There are several refinements of the process, including the McNally Norton standard washer. 

On Earth, when a melted alloy solidifies, it forms pine-tree-shaped crystals called dendrites These dendrites play a very important role in determining the properties of the alloy and its subsequent usefulness. Gravity causes fluid Hows in the alloy, leading to the formation of irregular dendrites that weaken the alloy or metal structure. This type nf processing is so complex that it is difficult to measure and predict, and even more difficult to control. In space, gravity-related phenomena such as convection are reduced, thus simplifying the process for study. See also Dendrite.

Fractures are mechanical breaks in rocks they originate from strains that arise from stress concentrations around flaws, heterogeneities, and physical discontinuities. .. They occur at a variety of scales, from microscopic to continental (Committee on Fracture Characterization and Fluid How, U.S. National Committee for Rock Mechanics, 1996). The Committee noted that ""fracture is a term used for all types of generic discontinuities . Fracture types can be classified into two groups related to their mode of formation ...
