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 ...

This is turbulent flow (top) compared to laminar flow (bottom). Disclaimer: AAAS and EurekAlert! are not responsible for the accuracy of news releases posted to EurekAlert! by contributing ...

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 ...

Proceedings of the Royal Society of London. Series A, Mathematical and Physical Sciences Information on transition from laminar to turbulent flow in boundary layers on streamline bodies of revolution ...

Nature does not allow us to increase the size of a system without eventually losing coherence. For example, although a coherent laminar flow through a pipe is always linearly stable, increasing the ...

As further evidence that technologies for laminar-flow aerodynamic surfaces are moving closer to production, Airbus is testing hybrid laminar flow control (HLFC) on an A350 prototype. The system, ...
