Nanovesicles (∼100 nm) are ubiquitous in cell biology and an important vector for drug delivery. Mechanical properties of vesicles are known to influence cellular uptake, but the mechanism by which ...

The Journal of Fluid Mechanics is a peer-reviewed scientific journal in the field of fluid mechanics. It publishes original work on theoretical, computational, and experimental aspects of the subject.

Researchers at Penn, led by Physics and Astronomy professor Arnold Mathijssen, discovered ways to achieve quality coffee extraction using fewer beans.

Older adults whose blood pressure fluctuates over time may be more likely to have problems with thinking and memory skills, according to a study published in the December 11, 2024, online issue of ...

Particle-laden interfaces stabilize emulsions and foams and can serve as a platform for multiscale materials. Favorable wetting of a particle to a fluid interface reduces the apparent interfacial ...

Central fluid reservoir depth best predicted scleral lens decentration, explaining 62–73% of the observed variation, the researchers note. In comparison, lens thickness and mass explained 40–44% of ...

Fluid mechanics is the subdiscipline of continuum mechanics that studies fluids, that is, liquids and gases. It can be further subdivided into fluid statics, the study of fluids at rest, and fluid ...

The adopted model from solid mechanics for the description of pressure variation with depth is related to the parameter variations that directly define jumps in the γ = V s V p ratio profile (Vs and ...

In this paper, the dynamic pressure characteristics induced by an internal solitary wave (ISW) in a two-layer fluid of finite depth are studied. A method for detecting ISWs by dynamic pressure is ...
