The theory of compressible flow in a laminar boundary layer has been developed for the case when the viscosity is assumed to be proportional to the absolute temperature and the Prandtl number is unity ...

ABSTRACT The effects of charge motion and laminar flame speeds on combustion and exhaust temperature have been studied by using an air jet in the intake flow to produce an adjustable swirl or tumble ...

[Nervous System] does a lot of laser cutting, and [Jesse] shared a fascinating experimental improvement to their laser cutter that consists of a 3D-printed nozzle for cleaner cuts. You can see the ...

That seems to be the reasoning behind Otto Aviation's Phantom 3500 jet aircraft that dumps the portholes in favor of super-laminar flow to lose weight and burn less fuel. Ask an aerospace engineer ...

Aerion's determination to be first to market with a supersonic business jet remains as dogged as ever as the US aerodynamics research company embarks on a another round of testing with NASA's Dryden ...

Ever seen a pitch that moves in a way no one can explain? That might be laminar flow—a rare aerodynamic phenomenon that can make a baseball defy expectations and completely fool hitters! Here’s what ...

Researchers from Japan have discovered a unique Hall effect resulting from deflection of electrons due to "in-plane ...
