Modern civilization depends on the transport of liquid and gases in systems of pipes, just as humans depend on the transport of blood through arteries and veins 1. As fluids move through pipes, they ...

Manufacturers and end users have a challenging problem when measuring flow. Before flowmeters are shipped, they are calibrated in a flowmeter calibration facility that is designed to make sure that ...

Until now it had been assumed that, once a flow of a fluid has become turbulent, turbulence would persist. Researchers have now shown that this is not the case. In their experiments they managed to ...

Figure 1: Localized and fully turbulent flow. At flow rates larger than those sustaining the regime of localized turbulent patches, the situation is fundamentally different: once triggered, turbulence ...

Abstract: Pipe flow models are developed with a focus on their eventual use for feedback control design at the process control level, as opposed to the unit level, in gas processing facilities.
