When long-chain flexible polymers are dissolved in a turbulent flow, the flow properties can be changed drastically by reducing the drag and enhancing the mixing. A fundamental riddle in materials ...

Dr. Alex Fedoseyev, Director of Research at Ultra Quantum Inc., explores a new paradigm for turbulence modelling known as the ...

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 ...

Heinz, S. 2003 Statistical Mechanics of Turbulent Flows. Springer-Verlag, Berlin, Heidelberg, New York, Tokyo (ISBN: 3-540-40103-2). The simulation of turbulent reacting flows, connected with ...

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 ...

A team of physicists has discovered a new role for a specific type of turbulence -- a finding that sheds light on fluid flows ranging from the Earth's liquid core to boiling water. A team of ...

People complain about fan noise in their computers. The same applies to active cooling on high-power LED arrays. It's not CFM (cubic feet per minute) that counts, but the linear air velocity at the ...

Blood flow in the human body is generally assumed to be smooth due to its low speed and high viscosity. Unsteadiness in blood flow is linked to various cardiovascular diseases and has been shown to ...

One of the first things most people do in the morning is turn on a tap in the bathroom. Provided we are not too sleepy, we cannot fail to notice what is often considered to be the greatest unsolved ...
