David Wampler understands why some contractors think drilling fluid products seem a bit like snake oil. "It looks like dirt in a sack, and you have this sales guy saying it's good for you," says ...

Fluid mixing is an important part of several industrial processes and chemical reactions. However, the process often relies on trial-and-error-based experiments instead of mathematical optimization.

Getting two fluids to mix in small or confined spaces is a big problem in many industries where, for instance, the introduction of one fluid can help extract another — like water pumped underground ...

Fluid dynamics and mixing theory constitute a central area in applied mathematics and engineering, addressing the mechanisms by which substances are transported and homogenised in fluid flows. This ...

Fluid mixing and mass transfer in agitated systems are central to many industrial and biotechnological processes. Mechanical agitation enables efficient homogenisation in reactors and bioreactors, ...

Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America, Vol. 104, No. 19 (May 8, 2007), pp. 7741-7745 (5 pages) A ubiquitous example of fluid mixing is the Rayleigh-Taylor ...

A novel measurement technique has been developed to visualize the fluid flow and distribution within two droplets levitated and coalesced in space using fluorescence-emitting particles. This technique ...

Ditch Witch announces the release of a new fluid mixing system, the Ditch Witch FM25. The new FM25 is a reliable, low-maintenance system for mixing the drilling fluid in horizontal directional ...

When you buy through links on our articles, Future and its syndication partners may earn a commission. Computer simulations showing how two immiscible fluids with different viscosities interact. | ...

When you stir cream into your cup of coffee, you would amazed to see the two fluids return to where they started simply by reversing the direction of stirring. However, a team of physicists in the US ...

Mixing of fluids is a critical component in many industrial and chemical processes. Pharmaceutical mixing and chemical reactions, for instance, may require homogeneous fluid mixing. Achieving this ...
