Turbulent flow while proceeding in a particular direction, like laminar flow, has the added complexity of random velocity fluctuations. The flow patterns never repeat themselves. To convince yourself ...

Unlike the turbulent and erratic flow patterns of garden hoses and showerheads, in microchannels, where space is confined, flows tend to be surprisingly steady. This phenomenon, known as laminar flow, ...

What has happened? The phenomenon is related to the differences between laminar and turbulent boundary layer. The boundary layer and its interaction with the local pressure gradient plays a major role ...

If the air is chaotic and tumbling, the flow is considered turbulent. You can visualize laminar flow transitioning into turbulent flow by watching smoke rise from the tip of a lit cigarette.

The HondaJet Elite II has improved performance features, such as an increased range of 1,547 nm (1,780 mi / 2,865 km), the ...

When normal laminar blood flow within the heart is disrupted, an audible sound is created by turbulent blood flow. Outside of the heart, audible turbulence is referred to as a bruit, whereas ...

A turbulent air assist can make scorch marks worse, not better. 3D-printed nozzle to promote laminar air flow on the left, stock nozzle on the right. As an experiment to improve the quality of the ...
