Introduction to fluid dynamics and simulations in COMSOL
... Materials (solids, liquids and gases) are composed of molecules separated by empty space. But the continuum model as a mathematical concept assumes that material exists as a continuous entity. It means that the matter in the body is continuously distributed and fills the entire region of space it oc ...

Solar Closed-Cycle MHD Generator

This will be an AC MHD Generator not DC. Induction and local oscillation on the permanent magnet stack occur ...

Vertical structure of the atmosphere
... The atmosphere is very close to hydrostatic balance most of the time, except at isolated locations when the vertical profile becomes statically unstable. In that situation, convection will happen to restore stability. This takes place on a very short time scale (~ a few hours), therefore after some ...

In fluid dynamics, turbulence or turbulent flow is a flow regime characterized by chaotic property changes. This includes low momentum diffusion, high momentum convection, and rapid variation of pressure and flow velocity in space and time.Flow in which the kinetic energy dies out due to the action of fluid molecular viscosity is called laminar flow. While there is no theorem relating the non-dimensional Reynolds number (Re) to turbulence, flows at Reynolds numbers larger than 5000 are typically (but not necessarily) turbulent, while those at low Reynolds numbers usually remain laminar. In Poiseuille flow, for example, turbulence can first be sustained if the Reynolds number is larger than a critical value of about 2040; moreover, the turbulence is generally interspersed with laminar flow until a larger Reynolds number of about 4000.In turbulent flow, unsteady vortices appear on many scales and interact with each other. Drag due to boundary layer skin friction increases. The structure and location of boundary layer separation often changes, sometimes resulting in a reduction of overall drag. Although laminar-turbulent transition is not governed by Reynolds number, the same transition occurs if the size of the object is gradually increased, or the viscosity of the fluid is decreased, or if the density of the fluid is increased. Nobel Laureate Richard Feynman described turbulence as ""the most important unsolved problem of classical physics.""
