A viscous, lubrication-like response can be triggered in a thin film of fluid squeezed between a rigid flat surface and the tip of an incoming projectile. We develop a scaling for this viscous approach stage of fluid-mediated normal impact, applicable to s ...
High injection rate hydraulic fracturing can have Reynolds number as high as 10000. For such high Reynolds numbers, turbulent flow is likely to occur. In this paper, we investigate the effect of turbulence on the propagation of hight contained hydraulic fr ...
