    The document discusses the Reynolds number, which is a ratio that characterizes different flow regimes such as laminar or turbulent flow. It provides examples of how controlling the Reynolds number can influence flow behavior and system design. Specifically, it explains that trip wires are used on aircraft wings to induce turbulent flow and prevent separation at high angles of attack, while dimples on golf balls delay separation and ensure turbulent flow to maximize range.

    Fluid Mechanics About Reynolds number:

    Where: L = Characteristic dimension that is meaningful in a particular system/phenomenon (e.g. diameter of a sphere, chord of a wing, height of a basketball player, etc.) Re may be considered a ratio

    Lower skin friction

    Laminar flow Vortex free

    Reduced mixing

    More prone to flow separation Highly predictable (e.g., flow properties are functions of location only)

    Importances of "Re"

    Nature of phenomenon

    Simple equations (laminar flow) Analysis tools Numerical algorithms (turbulent flow)

    Turbulent flow
    Higher sking friction

    Enhanced mixing Vorticity Less prone to flow separation Unpredictable (i.e. flow properties are functions of location and time)

    Jess Jos Daz Jurado Friday September 20th 2013. Example 1: Aircraft ing at high angle of attack for maximized lift:

    Trip wire

    For a given speed flow may be laminar and separation will occur Loss of lift Use Trip wires(little humps: pequeas jorobas Artificially induce transition to turbulent flow Zoom image!!

    Desirable scenario Wing works only if there is no flow separation. 3

    Jess Jos Daz Jurado Friday September 20th 2013. Another example: Golf balls Seek maximum range Reduce de drag force Minimize negative pressure region behind the ball Delay flow separation Ensure turbulent flow around the ball Provide balls with dimples (hoyuelos).

    About Turbulence

    Lo vimos en HIstory Channel Las bombas snake eye tienen aletas estabilizadores para que caigan El que sali afectado fu el avin sky hawk Randy Hepp era el piloto afectado, se alcanz a ejectar a tiempo. Lo que lo salvo fue esperar antes de ejectarcse
