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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

Turbulent flows in pipes are of importance for many every-day applications. What they all have in common is their appearance: They travel down the pipe bubbling and gurgling like a mountain stream.

IN a paper published in 1884, Prof. Osborne Reynolds 1 expressed the opinion that free surfaces, as found in open channels, tend to be “conducive to direct or steady motion”. Thus we should expect the ...

The boundary layer, a tiny layer on the surface of a body in a flowing fluid, such as an airplane wing in the air, is of paramount importance for the future of flight. Just over 100 years ago, Ludwig ...

The effectiveness of the mixing process can be key to determining whether the overall process is viable on any scale and can be the difference between a reaction working and the difference between a ...
