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.

This tunnel achieves laminar flow using an array of soda straws to direct the flow. In fact, there are 150 straws in total. You can see a short clip of the wind tunnel in action below.

When fluid is pumped through the chamber, the membrane deflects, becoming convex downstream of the flow, although the flow remained laminar and stable.

Fluid flow within the channels of the flow cells in this review is laminar 27, 28 and follows the contour lines of the channel that confines it, requiring no stringent design consideration to ...

One is turbulence. If the speed of a flowing fluid (liquid or gas) increases, it transitions at some point from predictable laminar flow to chaotic swirls and vortices. The chaos is turbulent flow.

In a so-called laminar flow, a fluid flows in parallel layers which do not mix. The opposite of this is a turbulent flow which is characterized by vortices and chaotic changes in pressure and ...

This Blake’s Brainiacs experiment is all about laminar flow, one of two main types of flow that water or any fluid can have. While this activity will be fun for all ages, please make sure an ...

With his 3D printed adapter, you can produce laminar flow from any garden hose. If you haven’t heard the term before, laminar flow is to water what a laser is to light.
