Why is the stress tensor simplifying like this

\begin{eqnarray} \nabla \cdot \boldsymbol \tau &=& 2 \mu \nabla \cdot \boldsymbol \varepsilon\\ &=& \mu \nabla \cdot \left( \nabla\mathbf{u} + (\nabla\mathbf{u}) ^\mathrm{T} \right)\\ &=& \mu \, \nabl …

Can a fan cause a liquid to cool below room temperature?

Typically a convective boundary condition is of the form $$ Q = h \cdot A \cdot (T(t) - T_\text{env}) = h \cdot A \cdot \Delta T(t) $$ (where h can be a function of fluid velocity if necessary) so it …

Thermal diffusity. What do I use?

The relevant equations are (Heat equation)$$ \frac{\partial T}{\partial t} = \alpha\left(\frac{\partial^2T}{\partial x^2}+\frac{\partial^2T}{\partial y^2}+\frac{\partial^2T}{\partial z^2}\right)$$ and …

Is it possible to change only surface tension/viscosity of liquid?

Surfactants can be added to change the surface tension (even in the ppm region). Polymers as well can affect the viscosity and there is a phenomenon known as polymer surfactant interaction that decrea …
