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 ...

Fluids play a crucial role in industrial processes like cooling, heating, and mixing. Traditionally, most industries would utilize Newtonian fluids—which have a constant viscosity—for such processes.

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 ...

Until now it had been assumed that, once a flow of a fluid has become turbulent, turbulence would persist. Researchers have now shown that this is not the case. In their experiments they managed to ...

SAE Transactions, Vol. 99, Section 1: JOURNAL OF AEROSPACE, Part 2 (1990), pp. 1425-1432 (8 pages) A study was undertaken to improve the prediction of external (gas-to-blade) heat transfer ...

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 ...
