How do water tunnel experiments compare to wind tunnel experiments?
I recently stumbled across the water tunnel videos by this guy:
https://youtu.be/quDLzxmJl5I?t=838
He states that for his "high flow" experiments the water speed is at 0.668 m/s. The car model is about 18 cm long. From what I understand about…

Find pressure, given 2 velocities at open end of pipe and inside pipe, at different elevations
There is a tube travelling horizontally, 8m below the ground, with a diameter 15cm. It then turns upwards and at a height of 1.75m above the ground, it shoots water out with a velocity 32 m/s. Find the pressure inside pipe.
Consider water to be an…

Can saline water be used in a hydro storage system and would the ambient temperature or higher liquid viscosity affect performance?
In regards to this question: How to determine the efficacy and potential energy of hydro power energy storage?.
I'm searching for a cheap liquid that I can use for a small scale pumped hydro storage. Obviously water came to mind but that has a…

Any scientific research papers on electromagnetic active valves using variable viscosity electromagnetic fluids?
I know the title is quite a mouthful, but let me explain (also, I couldn't find anything on the subject, maybe because I'm using the wrong words).
I saw some time ago a video about a variable suspension system that used a variable viscosity fluid…

Would it be possible to harness the energy flow from a continuous water system?
I’m working on a project to put Archimedes screw turbines into drains and sewerage water. However, as an experimental project I wanted to test out an idea to evaluating turbine degrees and flow rate effects. Would it be possible to build a…

Stochastic parametric stability of structures
I am investigating an engineering problem that relates to the dynamic stability of a beam-like structure under the action of a stochastic excitation (say, e.g., a marine structure acted by waves or a tall building acted by wind). My excitation is…
