When an object (say a boat) moves through water, there certainly is a type of friction. The layer of water near the boat at least partly moves along with the boat, and rubs against other parts of the water.

2013年8月2日 · Liquids change their shape and the resistance to do so is measured by viscosity, not friction. Water has a low viscosity relatively to 'thick' substances like honey. But you can't compare liquids with solids -like apples with oranges.

2022年12月16日 · A wet floor poses a risk for slipping, but in certain cases, water added to a surface can increase friction. Researchers have now found that this phenomenon is partly explained by hydrogen bonds between the water and the surface, an effect that was not previously thought to play an important role . The team reached this conclusion by studying ...

2019年9月9日 · Water often acts as a lubricant e.g. a wet floor or road, but sometimes the reverse happens e.g. putting on wet clothes. I understand that surface tension is involved e.g. microscope slides sticking together, but are there other factors? What determines which effect dominates?

2024年5月1日 · Fluid friction is the resistance force experienced by an object moving through a fluid (liquid or gas). This friction arises due to the interaction between the moving object and the fluid’s molecules, leading to energy loss and resistance to motion.

Flows inside ducts, channels and pipes are very important because they occur in many practical applications (water pipes, air conditioning ducts, gas lines, ventilation shafts, heat exchanger tubes, etc.).

Water can either increase or decrease the friction between two surfaces. Water reduces the friction between rubber tires and road pavements. That's why drivers have to be extra careful not to skid when roads are wet. Water can increase the friction between your fingers and a …

Is there a way to heat water by pushing it through a tube which has projections to increase the resistance to flow? If enough resistance tubing is coiled into a tank ( heat exchanger) and the pressure were sufficient could water be heated?

2022年2月22日 · Physicists have finally solved the long-standing mystery of why water moves faster through narrower nanotubes. Illustration of a carbon nanotube. Whenever you get around to doing dishes, how...

Water friction in nanoconfinement is of great importance in water lubrication and membrane-based applications, yet remains fraught with doubts despite great efforts. Our molecular dynamics simulations demonstrate that the first water layer adjacent to the surface plays an important role in interfacial friction.
