There are two main types of fluid flow - laminar flow, in which the fluid flows smoothly in layers, and turbulent flow, which ...

The flow patterns never repeat themselves ... then we can write the following dimensionless ratio Re is the Reynolds number, named after Osborne Reynolds who did systematic experiments, of a similar ...

The variation of the drag coefficient with Reynolds number is shown in figure 2, and the corresponding flow patterns are shown in figure 3. We see that as the Reynolds number increases the variation ...

Abstract: The study of an airfoil at low Reynolds number regime was found to be a typical problem where the inception of bifurcations leads the flow evolution from a stationary or periodic behaviour ...
