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 ...

A Laminar Flow system plays a crucial role in controlling particulate contamination. It refers to a steady, uniform flow of air. Inside the Laminar Flow Cabinet, the air initially passes through an ...

Vertical Laminar Flow Cabinets are self-contained laboratory workstations that are suitable for shielding samples from particle contamination. How does a Laminar Flow Cabinet work? The front face of ...

Boeing plans to reduce airframe drag on the 787 by standardising on a specific thickness of grey paint (pictured below) for the engine inlet which it says will preserve natural laminar flow over a ...
