This lecture delves into the fascinating properties of water, such as its phase transitions, surface tension, and complex behavior in different conditions. The discussion covers the structure of water, its phase diagram, and the concept of viscosity, including the Arrhenius relationship. The lecture also explores the intriguing world of non-Newtonian fluids, using ketchup as an example, and how its viscosity changes under different forces. Additionally, the talk touches on the innovative technology of surface coatings that can manipulate fluid behavior, offering insights into the intricate nature of fluid dynamics and its practical applications.
