Upcoming experiments should pave the way toward the first practical applications of drag-reducing laminar flow control on a transport aircraft under NASA’s Environmentally Responsible Aviation (ERA) ...

Experiments have been conducted in a laminar flow system and in a research engine to investigate the effect of additives on the combustion of gasoline-like fuels. The purpose of the laminar system is ...

If one looks at many practical fluid flows, either around bodies (flow of air over an airplane wing) or through conduits, (flow through pipes), the problem of turbulence presents itself in almost ...

A large composite outer wing section designed to prove the operational feasibility of drag-reducing natural laminar flow (NLF) for future aircraft is being evaluated by Airbus for flight test on a ...

SAN ANTONIO – If you need to get everyone outside for a little bit, why not throw in a little physics?! This Blake’s Brainiacs experiment is all about laminar flow, one of two main types of flow that ...
