This is turbulent flow (top) compared to laminar flow (bottom). Disclaimer: AAAS and EurekAlert! are not responsible for the accuracy of news releases posted to EurekAlert! by contributing ...

Turbulent flow while proceeding in a particular direction, like laminar flow, has the added complexity of random velocity fluctuations. The flow patterns never repeat themselves. To convince yourself ...

Grossmann, S. 2004 Statistical Mechanics of Turbulent Flow: Book Review. European Journal of Mechanics B/Fluids 23, 795–796. "To summarise, this is a monograph on the method of stochastic modelling of ...

In this state, the main flow of fluid exhibited a wavelike meandering motion, oscillating only vertically, perpendicular to the wall, which significantly boosted the heat transfer efficiency.

In a BFS flow, turbulence results in a separated shear layer, which is highly unstable due to the hydrodynamic instabilities. These instabilities generate turbulent eddies, producing turbulent ...
