Rather, it transforms your questions into API requests that are distributed across the various IT services officially administered by EPFL. Its purpose is solely to collect and recommend relevant references to content that you can explore to help you answer your questions.
Explores viscosity in Newtonian fluids, discussing shear stress, shear strain rate, and compressibility, with examples of shear thickening and shear thinning behaviors.
Explores the torsion of axisymmetric cross sections, focusing on circular bars of linearly elastic materials and their efficiency in resisting torsional loads.
Explores energy conservation in fluid mechanics, focusing on simplified control volume situations and the relationship between mechanical power and heat transfer.
Explores the role of viscosity in redistributing angular momentum in astrophysical objects, focusing on accretion disks and energy conversion efficiency.
Explores different fluid flow instabilities such as Rayleigh-Taylor and Kelvin-Helmholtz, discussing transient and spatial growth, dispersion relation, and shear layer instability.
