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 ...

"This motivated us to search for a new law that could work for any type of fluid moving at any rate through a pipe of any size." Flows of liquids and gasses through pipes, tubes, and ducts occur in ...

Engineers have dispelled a 100-year-old scientific law used to describe how fluid flows through rocks. The discovery could lead to a range of improvements including advances in Carbon Capture and ...

New work could help design electronic devices in which heat can be guided in certain directions, minimizing heat loss ...

From Quanta Magazine (find original story here). Spaghetti-thin shoelaces, sturdy hawsers, silk cravats—all are routinely tied in knots. So too, physicists believe, are water, air and the liquid iron ...

Designers should always consider flow velocity through hose and tubing to optimize performance while avoiding excessive losses or pressure spikes. This aerospace high-pressure pump installation ...

This week, physicists at the Division of Fluid Dynamics meeting in Minneapolis, Minnesota, exhibited their best experimental images in a “gallery of fluid motion” Air vortices often form around the ...
