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 ...

Pipe-flow turbulence is a problem in the transport of oil, water and other fluids, and once established, it is persistent and costly. Turbulent fluids consume greater pumping energy and can cause ...

Using the Frontier supercomputer at the Department of Energy's Oak Ridge National Laboratory, researchers from the Georgia ...

The irregular, swirling motion of fluids we call turbulence can be found everywhere, from stirring in a teacup to currents in ...

Vortex dynamics simulations reveal reconnection, an important property linked with creation of turbulence cascade, fluid mixing, and aerodynamic noise generation. Turbulent pipe flow simulated at high ...

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 ...

One of the first things most people do in the morning is turn on a tap in the bathroom. Provided we are not too sleepy, we cannot fail to notice what is often considered to be the greatest unsolved ...

Using large-scale numerical calculations, we explore the proper orthogonal decomposition of low Reynolds number turbulent pipe flow, using both the translational invariant (Fourier) method and the ...

The Vortab Insertion Panel (VIP) Flow Conditioner features a unique design that maximizes flow meter performance with minimal pressure drop in a simple to install, lightweight thin panel design that ...
