Oobleck & Dilatants: Physics, Equations & Math for Sci-Math Exposition

Click For Summary
Oobleck, a non-Newtonian fluid, exhibits dilatant behavior, meaning its viscosity increases under stress. The physics behind this phenomenon involves complex interactions between particles in the fluid, leading to a solid-like response when force is applied. Mathematical modeling of these viscoelastic properties is crucial for understanding and predicting the behavior of such fluids. The referenced study by Ionescu et al. explores experimental validation of these properties, emphasizing the importance of combining theoretical equations with real-world observations. This information will be beneficial for the Sci-Math Exposition.

Hi everyone,

May I ask about the physics and equations behind Oobleck and Dilatants in general. We shall be using this information for our Sci-Math Exposition (more math needed)?

Thread 'Ground coffee freshness question'

Somewhat separate from the coffee advice of “buy whole beans, grind fresh at home daily”, I'm looking to understand the factors that contribute to purchased ground coffee losing freshness after opening (oxygen, humidity, temperature, time, other?). I'm assuming oxidation is the main factor, assuming normal room temperature and mid-range humidity. It appears (I'm having trouble finding good info on this) that a high quality modern pre-ground coffee is packaged in a way that maintains...
