Going with the flow: does an extra term lead to a better model of turbulence? (Courtesy: iStock/Mumemories) Identifying universal laws within fluid mechanics is notoriously difficult. So it has come ...

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 ...

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.

The irregular, swirling motion of fluids we call turbulence can be found everywhere, from stirring in a teacup to currents in the planetary atmosphere. This phenomenon is governed by the Navier-Stokes ...

Drag reduction in turbulent flow systems is a pivotal area of research, with significant implications for reducing energy consumption and minimising greenhouse gas emissions across maritime and ...

In a tank on the bottom floor of a University of Chicago research laboratory, scientists summon "The Blob" into existence by ...

Representative results of turbulent energy and shear stress for VerMES3, VerMES10, and VerMES50. There exists a defective flow space in the area surrounded by yellow dotted lines. iPS cell-derived ...

Introduction Have you ever seen a wind turbine? Wind turbines are large towers with blades on top that are spun by the wind. They are one source of clean, renewable energy. They use the movement from ...
