There are two main types of fluid flow - laminar flow, in which the fluid flows smoothly in layers, and turbulent flow, which is characterised by chaotic motion and large amounts of mixing. In this ...

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 ...

Figure 1: Localized and fully turbulent flow. At flow rates larger than those sustaining the regime of localized turbulent patches, the situation is fundamentally different: once triggered, turbulence ...

The upcoming test campaign at NASA's Armstrong Flight Research Center (AFRC) is the culmination of the program that included ...

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 ...

In the quest for greater efficiency of large transport aircraft, efforts to reduce wing drag through conventional aerodynamic tweaks have largely been exhausted, in the view of Airbus senior ...
