Turbulent Flow: Definition.

Fluid flow can be categorized as laminar, turbulent, or transitional. Laminar flow is smooth and predictable, while turbulent flow is chaotic and favored by rough surfaces and low viscosity fluids. Transitional flow combines both types. Turbulence is important in aviation, with wake turbulence and airfoil turbulence affecting aircraft performance. Methods to reduce turbulence are being […]
