“…Marine pipelines and cables play a central role in this area, serving as essential components across various sectors. As depicted in Figure 1, these pipelines and cables are integral to efficient data transmission [1], the development and utilization of marine resources [2,3], energy transportation at sea [4,5], marine fisheries [6,7], underwater robot control [8,9], sea rescue systems [10], mooring systems [11,12], marine observing systems [13], and more. Not only do they enhance operational efficiency within the marine industry, but they also provide crucial technical support for the exploration and utilization of marine resources by humanity.…”

Fluid mechanics, a fundamental discipline within engineering, has gained increasing significance across various fields due to continuous advancements in engineering science and technology. Its principles and methodologies find widespread application in aerospace, energy development, environmental protection, biomedicine, and beyond, serving as a cornerstone for technological progress. However, despite the expanding applications of fluid dynamics, challenges persist in integrating theory with practice in certain domains. This paper aims to synthesize exemplary applications of fluid mechanics in diverse engineering fields, illustrating its crucial role in addressing practical challenges. Additionally, it explores current problems and limitations in fluid dynamics applications, such as numerical simulation accuracy, multiphase flow complexity, and fluid-structure interaction nonlinearity. Furthermore, recommendations are provided for future fluid mechanics development, emphasizing interdisciplinary collaboration, advanced computational methods, and the seamless integration of experimental techniques and theoretical research. Through these discussions, this paper endeavors to offer insights into the ongoing development of fluid mechanics, fostering its broader application and deeper exploration within engineering disciplines.

“…In these papers (Whitaker, 1988(Whitaker, , 1989(Whitaker, , 1991, he focused attention on the discrepancy in thinking about the flow of one component, say water vapor, in a tube in which another component, say air, is effectively stagnant. When confronted with a picture like that in Figure 1a, most students as well as teachers approach the problem as one of binary molecular diffusion, along the lines of Bird et al (1960), and thus implicitly assume a flat radial concentration profile.…”

The Stefan diffusion tube is modeled with the recently developed binary friction model (BFM), and it is shown that this model can describe all kinds of vapor flow regimes from Stefan diffusion to pure pressure-driven flow but also Knudsen and (diffusive) slip flow. From the BFM simple criteria are derived for the transition between various regions, the criteria of which are also relevant to the fields of gas adsorption, heterogeneous catalysis, and drying of porous materials. For isobaric counterdiffusion the BFM shows where the limits of Graham's law are. For equimolar counterdiffusion analogously the area of applicability of the Bosanquet equation is derived from the BFM and an extended equation is given.
