In their experiments they managed to destabilize turbulence so that the flow turned to a laminar state, and they observed that the flow remained laminar thereafter.

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.

Real life isn’t as simple, and real fluids near the laminar-turbulent transition contain multiple puffs that grow, die out, and interact in complex ways as the flow speed increases.

The software will help them predict when and where the transitions from laminar to turbulent flow occur in engines and on surfaces operating at hypersonic speeds.

Turbulence is a ubiquitous phenomenon in nature and is seen by many as one of the greatest unsolved problems of classical physics. The challenge is understanding how a fluid, such as water flowing ...
