Can the Marangoni effect be used to propel large-scale structures?

I saw a video in which the gradient in surface tension of two fluids caused a small boat to be propelled forward (Marangoni effect). Can that be used to move large-scale structures, like ships,...

Does anyone have experience with Irrotational flows- are they laminar or turbulent?

I was reading up on irrotational flows, and that irrotational flows can be present around turbulent flows, and can produce turbulence. But can the turbulent flow be irrotational? I would like to...

Do Newtonian fluids have surface tension? What about ideal fluids, which have no viscosity?

My guess is that they do. This is just a confirmation. Is it possible to have mathematical proof of the same?

Is there any test to determine the cardiovascular risk of patients with obesity? from the perspective of obesity?

We found tests to determine cardiovascular risk taking into account lipid profile, blood pressure, age, history of diabetes, other laboratories. But when weight is involved, there is a paradox. I...

Why are the velocities so high in my Boussinesq approximation Fluent simulation?

Hello, I have a mechanism where air rises due to convective flows. In this simulation, nothing is driving the air except this. I understand that the Boussinesq approximation only works for small...

What is the characteristic length to determine the Reynolds number for the scattered turbulent fluid flow?

Dear all, I just saw this example in FB on the difference between laminar flow and turbulent flow. The flow from a pipe hits the sink and scattered. The flow from the pipe is characterized as...

Why almost every element would be metallized in sufficiently high pressure and low temperature?

(This statement is from wikipedia, BTW). What is so special about metallic bond that is limiting high-P low-T state of a matter (as long as individual atoms exist, not white dwarf of neutron star...
