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 'Need to anneal 5052 aluminum'

I need to anneal 5052 aluminum for a home project. Google has given me mixed results on how to do this. Short version is that I'm doing some heavy forming on a piece of 5052-H32 and I'm running into issues with it work hardening. I've tried the Sharpie trick with a propane torch. But I'm not sure this is doing anything. I'm also seeing conflicting opinions whether to quench or air cool. So I'm looking for some expert opinions. (Oven heating is not an option due to size.) Thanks. edit: The...
