  FLUIDITY - AMCGMedia
FLUIDITY is a general purpose multi-phase CFD code capable of solving numerically the Navier-Stokes and accompanying field equations on arbitrary unstructured finite element meshes.
FLUIDITY solves the Navier-Stokes equations in primitive variable form using one of the following class of pressure determination methods: projection type methods; methods that derive a Poisson equation for pressure which include artificial compressible methods; a variety of coupled momentum and continuity equation solution methods including Uzawa's method; and various mixed mass methods.
The main development of FLUIDITY at the moment is in modelling the fluid and heat transfer in fluidised beds, ocean model development (process, regional and global), algebraic multi-grid solvers, inversion methods e.g.

The fluidity of lipoproteins was increased in malaria.
The consequence of altered lipoprotein fluidity may affect their functions and metabolism, for example controlling the activity of lipid enzyme lecithin:cholesterol acyltransferase [21] or binding affinity for lipoprotein receptors.
The lipoprotein fluidity was studied by determining the fluorescence anisotropy (reciprocal to fluidity) of the DPH (1,6-diphenyl-1,3,5-hexatriene) as a probe [22,29].

 The Liquid State VII - Viscosity and Fluidity
The observed fluidity or plasticity of the solid aggregate is not actually a solid property; it is a property of the liquid molecules existing within the solid aggregate.
Viscosity is measured in terms of force per unit area and to put the corresponding fluidity on a basis proportional to the force per molecule we multiply the experimental value by the 2/3 power of the density.
We find that in many physical properties, including fluidity, the relation between mass and the property in question is subject to modification in such a manner that if the normal effect of the mass m of a particular atom is xm the modified value is nxm.

 The Genesis 5 and 11 fluidity question
While they readily acknowledge fluidity as a fairly common occurrence in ancient genealogies, they reason that the occurrence of fluidity in some genealogies does not prove fluidity in all genealogies.
Thus, he believes that fluidity has occurred with regard to the spelling of names, but not necessarily with regard to the omission of names.
This lack of evidence for fluidity does not necessarily mean that fluidity has not occurred, because evidence might yet come to light.

 Calcium-induced decrease in membrane fluidity of sea urchin egg cortex after fertilization
Here we report membrane fluidity measurements on a surface membrane fraction, the cortex, isolated from unfertilized and fertilized eggs.
The fluidity of the fertilized egg cortex, measured by electron spin resonance (ESR) spectroscopy using 5-doxy 1st ear at e as a probe, is less than that of the unfertilized cortex.
The fluidity decrease seems to represent a Ca -induced change in membrane structure rather than a direct interaction of Ca with phospholipid headgroups.

 The Credibility of Electronic Publishing: Archiving and Text Fluidity / Version Control
The issue of text fluidity is a red herring as far as digital preservation is concerned.
In investigating issues related to the preservation of scholarly electronic texts and to text fluidity, study participants from the Electronic Text Centre at the University of New Brunswick interviewed representatives from the National Library of Canada, the Electronic Text Center at the University of Virginia, and Reed Elsevier.
This is why some specialists regard the fluidity as actually being a survival mechanism; that is, if it is not fluid, you are done for.

For the Methanol/Water system that was used, the fluidity calculations based on the viscosity were similar at the extremes (0% methanol and 100% methanol) to the ideal fluidity calculated through equation 4, however deviation was seen in the 20% methanol to 80% methanol range.
for the fluidity appeared to be valid for the toluene/p-xylene system, and not for the methanol/water system.
This was carried on through the use of equation 6, where ln of the ideal viscosity was compared to the ln of the observed viscosity.
