"The pipe-flow problem has always been one of the most basic and important in the study of fluid mechanics, and in many ways the field was developed to address this problem," explains Ristroph, ...

Fluid dynamics in pipe systems and the associated vibration phenomena are focal points of modern engineering research, given their critical role in industrial, aerospace and offshore applications.

The Navier–Stokes partial differential equation was developed in the early 19th century by Claude-Louis Navier and George ...

The banging of pipes often heard when a faucet is turned off or on is called “water hammer” and is due to the sudden arrest or reversal of direction of the water flow. Water hammer is a phenomenon ...

The many applications of flow measurement include uses in water supply, medical research, oil exploration, food processing and distribution of gas. The uses of this technology are very diverse, with ...
