         | or an accelerometer can observe a bump.

       | A colleague was asking about fluid dynamics, relating to air
       | flowing through a tube with a cylinder in the middle. The
       | equations looked very similar to those used for coaxial cables,
       | and someone else had commented that the physics models are in
       | fact quite similar.

       | I can't find the StackExchange link right now, but here's another
       | article about electron viscosity, "negative resistance, electron
       | whirlpools and superballistic flow."

       | different from regular fluid flow?
