We aren’t sure if [Joshua Bellamy] is serious that he wants a laminar flow to water his plants, but there are many places where having a smooth and predictable flow of water is useful or even ...

As further evidence that technologies for laminar-flow aerodynamic surfaces are moving closer to production, Airbus is testing hybrid laminar flow control (HLFC) on an A350 prototype. The system, ...

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 ...

There are two main types of fluid flow - laminar flow, in which the fluid flows smoothly in layers, and turbulent flow, which is characterised by chaotic motion and large amounts of mixing. In this ...
