The stars of the "Jaws" films--sharks--have recently become the subject of a new engineering research project. The project explores energy conservation and boundary layer control in regard to a ...

I had a customer who was thermal printing strip steel. The steel is washed with solvents and blown dry. He was having a problem: When the strip's speed increased, the thermo printer would catch fire.

A typical challenge for re-entry vehicles during flight is an effective control of hypersonic transition and the laminar/turbulent state of the boundary layer. The state of the boundary layer is of ...

If there are no shear stresses present, there is no fluid deformation, and the behavior of a fluid is described by the bulk modulus relating the pressure and the compression strain. In the presence of ...
