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 ...

Whether in oil pipelines or city water mains -- scientists have discovered that turbulent flow is not stable. When a flow reaches a certain speed, things get turbulent: The fluid or the gas no longer ...

A discussion is given of the ongoing research related to laminar flow airfoils, nacelles, and wings where the laminar flow is maintained by a favorable pressure gradient, surface suction or a ...

DUBLIN--(BUSINESS WIRE)--The "Global Static Mixer Market 2019-2023" report has been added to ResearchAndMarkets.com's offering. Growth of end-user industries The major users of static mixers are ...

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 ...

A Laminar Flow system plays a crucial role in controlling particulate contamination. It refers to a steady, uniform flow of air. Inside the Laminar Flow Cabinet, the air initially passes through an ...

Across many industrial and academic applications, it’s necessary to accurately measure liquid flow. Depending on the application, accurate measurements can be the difference between making a profit or ...

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 ...

Tests of a proposed friction-factor equation have shown it to be accurate for calculating pressure loss in turbulent flow for a pipeline transporting a non-Newtonian fluid, such as most crude oils and ...
