How Honey Flows Through a Sponge: New Equations ⚡ экспресс
Original: "Models of Flow through Porous Media of Polar Fluids with Pressure-Dependent Viscosity"
Scientists derived equations for fluids that change viscosity when passing through porous materials like sponges or soil.

A drop of honey falls onto a sponge. What happens? It slowly spreads, meeting resistance. And if the sponge is uneven, and the honey gets thinner when squeezed? Scientists derived equations for such tricky flows. This will help make better filters and extract oil from stubborn rock formations.
🎯 The equations for porous media were first derived by an engineer building fountains in Dijon—he needed to prevent water from eroding the city.
