Recent advances in flow dynamics and turbulence transition have significantly deepened our understanding of how laminar flows evolve into complex, chaotic turbulent regimes. While the phenomenon ...

The flow of all fluids, whether liquid or gas, will have one of three states: laminar, turbulent, and transitional. This article discusses flow principles and pressure-based flow measurement. Laminar ...

A discussion is given of the ongoing research related to laminar flow airfoils, nacelles, and wings where the laminar flow is maintained by a favorable pressure gradient, surface suction or a ...

Until now, the laws of resistance for transitional flow were unknown, making it difficult to calculate friction and energy loss during this type of flow. Cerbus and other researchers in the Fluid ...

Application of multi-fractured horizontal well bores to the recovery of oil from ultra-low permeability reservoirs presented a difficult paradigm shift for operators, service providers, and the ...
