Hydrogeology and Mechanics of Subduction Zone Forearcs: Fluid Flow and Pore Pressure

leave a comment

Hydrogeology and Mechanics of Subduction Zone Forearcs: Fluid Flow and Pore Pressure There are parts in our world that Mother Earth has under her strict control and there is nothing that we can do about it to change it and those parts are best known as subduction zones. A subduction zone is an area on [...]

COMPUTATIONAL FLUID DYNAMICS STUDIES OF NUCLEAR ROCKET PERFORMANCE

2 comments

Computational Fluid Dynamics is a branch of fluid mechanics that uses numerical methods and algorithms to solve and analyze problems that involve fluid flows. Using this definition there are Scientifics at NASA (NERVA program) developing Navier-Stokes (fluid flows equations) codes for computers that control the propulsion on low pressure nuclear rockets. This new technology offers [...]

Vortex

one comment

Vortex The vortex is a mass of fluid in rotary motion. They have the ability to move a fluid almost frictionless, but it needs a continuous energy supply to overcome the friction. This kind of phenomena in such a fluid could be permanent if and only if the velocity of the fluid is constant trough [...]
