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 ...

Going with the flow: does an extra term lead to a better model of turbulence? (Courtesy: iStock/Mumemories) Identifying universal laws within fluid mechanics is notoriously difficult. So it has come ...

We've been using pipes for a long time, but still don't have a clear picture of how turbulence develops within them. A recent study presents a new method to experimentally determine when this shift ...

Tests of a proposed friction-factor equation have shown it to be accurate for calculating pressure loss in turbulent flow for a pipeline transporting a non-Newtonian fluid, such as most crude oils and ...

The Navier–Stokes partial differential equation was developed in the early 19th century by Claude-Louis Navier and George ...
