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 ...

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 ...

Trajectories in time traced out by turbulent puffs as they move along a simulated pipe and in experiments, with blue regions indicate the puff "traffic jams." The images on the left are closer to the ...
