Abstract: We report measurements of the effective tensile strength Fc of commercial “multigrade” oils (in the SAE viscosity grades 5W-30 and 10W-40) over a range of temperatures T, which are representative ...

Abstract: A laboratory characterization of cohesive sediment has been carried out in which data obtained from standard sedimentation and rheological measurements were combined in a determination of the critical solid concentration ...

Abstract: We report a study of liquid jets formed by the collapse of bubbles under cavitation-generated pressure waves. Such jets involve an extensional flow which is characterized by high rates of ...
