Recent advances have significantly enhanced our understanding of the complex fluid dynamics surrounding wind turbine blades. By employing non-invasive imaging techniques such as infrared thermography, ...

This section was adapted from The Engine and the Atmosphere: An Introduction to Engineering by Z. Warhaft, Cambridge University Press, 1997. How many times a day do we turn on a faucet? Do it now.

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 ...

We aren’t sure if [Joshua Bellamy] is serious that he wants a laminar flow to water his plants, but there are many places where having a smooth and predictable flow of water is useful or even ...

Flow visualization is the process of making the physics of fluid flows (gases, liquids) visible. At the University of Colorado we have a course for mixed teams of engineering and fine arts photography ...

Ludwig Prandtl, who is considered to be the father of modern aerodynamics, made a number of films for demonstration and illustration purposes in the 1920s and 1930s, while he was at the Kaiser Wilhelm ...

The dispersion of a pulse of ethylene injected into nitrogen, flowing in the laminar régime through straight and curved tubes, has been investigated at pressures of 1·0 and 4·4 atm. From the study of ...
