    Fluids Viscosity
AI Thread Summary
The viscosity of a fluid significantly influences its splash characteristics, affecting both the height and spread of splashes upon impact. Practical experiments, such as dropping balloons filled with various fluids, can visually demonstrate these effects. To quantify splash distribution, researchers can utilize metrics such as splash height, radius, and droplet size, potentially referencing existing studies for methodologies. Resources like Wikipedia and specific research papers by Lei Xu and Wendy Zhang provide foundational knowledge and experimental insights. Understanding these principles can enhance the theoretical framework for analyzing fluid splash behavior.

Hi all,
i'm doing a research essay on how the viscosity of a fluid affects it's splashes.
i'm currently stuck and do not know how i should approach this theoretically. i have no problem with the practical (filling up balloons with the fluid and dropping them from a height to see the splash distribution).
also, I'm wondering how i could quantify this splash distribution?

Thread 'Question about pressure of a liquid'

I am looking at pressure in liquids and I am testing my idea. The vertical tube is 100m, the contraption is filled with water. The vertical tube is very thin(maybe 1mm^2 cross section). The area of the base is ~100m^2. Will he top half be launched in the air if suddenly it cracked?- assuming its light enough. I want to test my idea that if I had a thin long ruber tube that I lifted up, then the pressure at "red lines" will be high and that the $force = pressure * area$ would be massive...

Thread 'Why is the 3 body problem unsolvable? And what will happen if someone solves it?'

I feel it should be solvable we just need to find a perfect pattern, and there will be a general pattern since the forces acting are based on a single function, so..... you can't actually say it is unsolvable right? Cause imaging 3 bodies actually existed somwhere in this universe then nature isn't gonna wait till we predict it! And yea I have checked in many places that tiny changes cause large changes so it becomes chaos........ but still I just can't accept that it is impossible to solve...
