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 ...

Nature does not allow us to increase the size of a system without eventually losing coherence. For example, although a coherent laminar flow through a pipe is always linearly stable, increasing the ...

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 ...

As further evidence that technologies for laminar-flow aerodynamic surfaces are moving closer to production, Airbus is testing hybrid laminar flow control (HLFC) on an A350 prototype. The system, ...
