Drilling fluids are a critical component in modern drilling operations, serving multiple functions such as transporting rock cuttings to the surface, maintaining wellbore stability, lubricating ...

There is frequently a great deal of uncertainty and misinformation around heat transfer systems, including their proper use and maintenance, causing dread and anxiety among system operators. This fear ...

If you mix cornstarch and water in the right proportions, you get “oobleck”: something that seems not-quite-liquid but also not-quite-solid. Oobleck flows and settles like a liquid when untouched, but ...

Rig-site fluid test automation has lagged automated drilling technology and is now a bottleneck to real-time drilling diagnostics and decisions. A new automated mud skid (AMS) addresses this gap by ...

Scientists from Tokyo Metropolitan University have re-engineered the popular Lattice-Boltzmann Method (LBM) for simulating ...

The term “Nanofluids” was first proposed by Choi of Argonne National Laboratory USA in 1995, which meant nanoparticle fluid suspensions. After which, this interdisciplinary field has developed ...

Cooper-Standard. has been granted a patent for a system that utilizes RFID technology to sense physical properties of fluids in composite hoses. The system includes an RFID reader, a tag, and a sensor ...

Pounding on the bottom of a glass bottle of ketchup is one of life's small annoyances. Getting that sweet, red concoction from its solid phase to a liquid takes too long when you're hungry and could ...

Microfluidic systems are non-turbulent, highly ordered, fluid flow systems that are typically used in controlled biological experiments. The size of most microfluidic devices is within the range of a ...
