In this simple demonstration, we see what seems like a special effect. But it’s not. Here’s how laminar flow makes reality look like an optical illusion. It looks totally fake. Corn syrup dyed yellow, ...

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 ...

SIAM Journal on Applied Mathematics, Vol. 35, No. 1 (Jul., 1978), pp. 97-116 (20 pages) The development of velocity profiles in the inlet region of channels or pipes is a classic problem of laminar ...

Across many industrial and academic applications, it’s necessary to accurately measure liquid flow. Depending on the application, accurate measurements can be the difference between making a profit or ...

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 ...

Homogeneity is the most desirable factor in the process of mixing. However, achieving homogeneity is a challenging task for mixing highly viscous materials. A turbine-type mixer creates a chaotic flow ...
