  2. Tea leaf paradox - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tea_leaf_paradox

    The tea leaves collect in the middle and the bottom, instead of along the rim. The blue line is the secondary flow that pushes the tea leaves to the middle of the bottom. Visualization of secondary flow in river bend model (A. Ya. Milovich, 1913, [1] flow from right to left). Near-bottom streamlines are marked with dye injected by a pipette.

  3. Laminar–turbulent transition - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Laminar–turbulent_transition

    Reynolds’ 1883 experiment on fluid dynamics in pipes Reynolds’ 1883 observations of the nature of the flow in his experiments. In 1883 Osborne Reynolds demonstrated the transition to turbulent flow in a classic experiment in which he examined the behaviour of water flow under different flow rates using a small jet of dyed water introduced into the centre of flow in a larger pipe.

  4. Droplet-based microfluidics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Droplet-based_Microfluidics

    Two droplets come together in this device. The pillars divide the flow into three channels: two side branches on the top and bottom, and a middle branch, through which the entire merged droplet flows to. The continuous phase between adjacent droplets is effectively filtered out by being allowed to flow through the top and bottom branches.

  5. Texture advection - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Texture_advection

    Line integral convolution visualisation of a flow field. In scientific visualization, texture advection is a family of methods to densely visualize vector fields or flows (like the wind movement of a tornado). Scientists can use the created images and animations to better understand these flows and reason about them.

  6. Flow separation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flow_separation

    A reasonable assessment of whether the boundary layer will be laminar or turbulent can be made by calculating the Reynolds number of the local flow conditions. Separation occurs in flow that is slowing down, with pressure increasing, after passing the thickest part of a streamline body or passing through a widening passage, for example.

  7. Fluid flow through porous media - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fluid_flow_through_porous...

    In fluid mechanics, fluid flow through porous media is the manner in which fluids behave when flowing through a porous medium, for example sponge or wood, or when filtering water using sand or another porous material. As commonly observed, some fluid flows through the media while some mass of the fluid is stored in the pores present in the media.

  9. Topological fluid dynamics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Topological_fluid_dynamics

    Such structures are characterised at least in part by the helicity of certain sub-regions of the flow field, a topological invariant of the equations. Helicity plays a central role in dynamo theory , the theory of spontaneous generation of magnetic fields in stars and planets (Moffatt 1978, Parker 1979, Krause & Rädler 1980).
