Recent advances in flow dynamics and turbulence transition have significantly deepened our understanding of how laminar flows evolve into complex, chaotic turbulent regimes. While the phenomenon ...

The flow of all fluids, whether liquid or gas, will have one of three states: laminar, turbulent, and transitional. This article discusses flow principles and pressure-based flow measurement. Laminar ...

We aren’t sure if [Joshua Bellamy] is serious that he wants a laminar flow to water his plants, but there are many places where having a smooth and predictable flow of water is useful or even ...

Turbulence is one of the great mysteries of modern science. It is also one of the most important, as most of the flows we’re interested in are turbulent. In some applications, such as industrial ...

Physics educator and YouTuber, Derek Muller, a.k.a. Veritasium, recently posted a video on the topic of turbulence, and it will change the way you see the chaotic, fluid motion forever. Not only does ...

If one looks at many practical fluid flows, either around bodies (flow of air over an airplane wing) or through conduits, (flow through pipes), the problem of turbulence presents itself in almost ...

People complain about fan noise in their computers. The same applies to active cooling on high-power LED arrays. It's not CFM (cubic feet per minute) that counts, but the linear air velocity at the ...

Using unconventional statistical mechanics to understand fluid dynamics, a professor helped solve a 150 year old physics problem of how turbulent fluids move through a pipe. In 1883 Osborne Reynolds ...

Introduction Have you ever seen a wind turbine? Wind turbines are large towers with blades on top that are spun by the wind. They are one source of clean, renewable energy. They use the movement from ...
