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 ...

So when a turbulent boundary layer enters a region of adverse pressure gradient, it can persist for a longer distance without separating (compared to a laminar flow) because the momentum near the wall ...

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.

Experiments, asymptotic theory and computer simulations of wall-bounded shear flow uncover a bifurcation scenario that explains the transition from localized turbulent patches to fully turbulent flow.

The reasons for which a laminar flow goes unstable and becomes turbulent are complicated, but if the flow could be kept laminar, then it would take considerably less energy to fly airplanes or deliver ...

Is the flow in this area turbulent or laminar? Gradually move the streamer farther and farther away from the box on the downwind side. What happens as you move the streamer farther away from the box?

In general, the transition from laminar to turbulent flow occurs between Reynolds numbers of 1,700-3,000, but the exact number varies not only between experimental facilities but also between ...

New approach can save up to 95 percent of energy used for pipelines Study proves that turbulent flow can be destabilized so that it turns to an energy-saving laminar flow Date: January 8, 2018 ...
