Researchers have shown that the injection of a thin or low-viscosity fluid into a much more viscous fluid (think of water spurting into molasses) will cause the two fluids to mix very quickly via a ...

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.

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 ...

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 ...

Pouring cream into coffee creates a show of eddies that rivals Jupiter's roiling storms. But one clank of the spoon collapses all that black and tan chaos into a smooth, uniform brown. It turns out ...

It's been a year since the Texas oil and gas industry had to start disclosing the mix of water and chemicals it uses for hydraulic fracturing. But thanks to a loophole in state law that allows ...

It was a good flight back in 2007: an unmanned Foton-M3 spacecraft flew around Earth for 12 days with 43 scientific and technological experiments on board. Some of the results were in hand right after ...

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 ...

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 ...
