Additional materials for the lecture
- Viscosity
- The Great Boston Molasses Tragedy an example of non-newtonian viscous flow
- Cavitation occurs when the local pressure in a flow drops below the vapor pressure of a liquid. The liquid then form vapor bubbles which, when carried by the flow to zones of higher pressure, implode releasing energy that can damage solid walls.
- Propeller cavitation web page at UT Austin
- Cavitation studies at the UWRL/USU - cavitation is to be avoided for the proper functioning of valves.
- Cavitation studies at the USBR - cavitation in turbines (hydroelectric dams)
- Bizarre boiling - boiling produces vapor cavities in fluids. In this example, boiling in low-gravity is compared to boiling under full gravity influence.
- Surface tension
