If one looks at many practical fluid flows, either around bodies (flow of air over an airplane wing) or through conduits, (flow through pipes), the problem of turbulence presents itself in almost ...

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.

In the search for methods of reducing aircraft drag, much attention has been devoted to the problems of maintaining large areas of laminar flow on wings. However, the operational requirement of high ...

A typical challenge for re-entry vehicles during flight is an effective control of hypersonic transition and the laminar/turbulent state of the boundary layer. The state of the boundary layer is of ...

Otto Aviation has proven the performance of its overly laminar flow over the course of 31 flights and is now in the process of considering avionics and connectivity suppliers for […] ...

This allows NASA and Aerion engineers to continue investigating the extent and robustness of natural laminar flow over the test section at supersonic speeds.

Boeing plans to reduce airframe drag on the 787 by standardising on a specific thickness of grey paint for the engine inlet, to preserve natural laminar and boost range.

[ApexLogic] had some PMMA core acrylic rod rod left over from a project and decided to use it as the lighting element in a laminar flow water jet. The typical water jet consists of a bunch of spong… ...
