Tests for a proposed friction-factor equation have shown it to be accurate for calculating pressure loss in turbulent flow for a non-Newtonian fluid. Sept. 15, 2003 Click on the pdf link below to view ...

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 ...

This is a preview. Log in through your library . Abstract The flow of a viscous incompressible fluid in a plane channel is simulated numerically with the use of a computational code for the numerical ...

Be it avalanches, tornados, floods, or the air streams carrying an aircraft: Fluid flows are all around us. And sometimes, these flows are highly turbulent and powerful. “To be able to understand ...

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 ...

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.

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 chaotic flow of water cascading down a mountainside is known as turbulence. It is complex, irregular and unpredictable, but we should count our blessings that it exists. Without turbulence, we ...
