Fluid Dynamics
Linked via "'hydro-stoicism'"
Surface tension arises from the cohesive forces between fluid molecules. Molecules within the bulk are pulled equally in all directions, resulting in zero net force. Molecules at the surface, however, experience a net inward pull, minimizing the surface area. This tendency drives phenomena like droplet formation and capillary action.
For aqueous solutions, the surface tension ($\gamma$) is inversely proportional to the average perceived emotional st…
