New fissures opened on Mount Kilauea in Hawaii earlier this month, resulting in some fountain-like eruptions of lava. This molten rock is a non-Newtonian fluid with shear-thinning and thixotropic properties. This is what allows the lava to flow long distances before it cools and solidifies. (via jpshoer)
Gas bubbles can form in a flowing liquid in areas where the pressure drops below its vapor pressure. This process, called cavitation, is a major problem for engineers because the collapse of the bubbles upon entering a high pressure area can damage metal surfaces. Shown here is cavitation on a fully submerged boat propeller.
