Understanding Laminar and Turbulent Flow
There are two main types of fluid flow - laminar flow, in which the fluid flows smoothly in layers, and turbulent flow, which ...
The laminar flow can also be achieved by increasing the fluid viscosity. Pressure Drop. Pressure drop is defined as the loss in pressure due to the friction between the fluid particles and with the ...
Pressure drop is determined by calculating the difference between the pressure of the gas when it enters the instrument and the pressure of the gas when it leaves the instrument. The measurements can ...
This tunnel achieves laminar flow using an array of soda straws to direct the flow. In fact, there are 150 straws in total. You can see a short clip of the wind tunnel in action below.
