    I got into turbulent flow via chaos. The transition to turbulence sometimes involves a period doubling. Turbulence itself is chaotic motion, it is unpredictable and sensitively dependent on initial conditions. What surprised me is all the ways turbulent flow is useful to us. It is diffusive, meaning it causes mixing. This is useful in jet engines or rocket nozzles (which Destin studies) and is important to achieve in microfluidic devices, which are so small that turbulent flow is actually difficult to achieve. Turbulent flow can energize a boundary layer, which is important to maintain flow attachment over a wing, maintaining lift and delaying stall. Similarly a turbulent boundary layer over a golf ball reduces pressure drag allowing golf balls to fly further. This is the reason for the dimples on golf balls. Flow transitioning to turbulence in the wake of a bluff body can create periodic vortex shedding. This beautiful phenomenon can be seen in the von Kàrmàn vortex street in clouds viewed from space. Turbulence is everywhere, in the air currents in a room, in your aorta, in the breaths you exhale, in oil pipelines and water pipes, in the flow over cars and ships and planes. Animals have evolved for it (like dead fish swimming up stream) and we have engineered our environment, our planes and golf balls for it. Laminar flow may be nice to look at (which is why we use it in decorative fountains) but turbulent flow does the real lifting.

    LAMINAR FLOW IS BETTER. Obviously the Laminar Boundary Layer section was the best part of the video. (I jest.) In all seriousness though I thought you did an amazing job with this content Derek. Discussing the transition to turbulence is very difficult and you did a masterful job of it here. Animating Reynold’s experiment on the page was masterful. Your point that laminar flow must be small was very interesting, and when I saw the images from space I had a fun time thinking about what parts were laminar and what parts were turbulent. I’ll put a link to this video on the laminar flow video. All these nice things being said....I have something up my sleeve!

    As an aerospace engineer I'm so glad this video was made. I love Destin's video on laminar flow but I kept thinking "but but but the flow is so much easier to separate if the flow is laminar"
    But also, you can't just mention that a dead fish can swim upstream in a sentence and move on! That deserves it's own video! How does something move upstream without it expending energy! How does an object move forwards when you blow on it! The only explanation I have is there is lower pressure closer to where the vortex is shed than far downstream, so the fish is being "blown" upstream by the pressure difference...

    • @hanbanaroda

    I'm a mechanical engineer and I once did a project in my senior fluids lab studying drag coefficients of rough spheres versus smooth spheres and other objects with round cross sections. We demonstrated that
    1. The rough sphere had a smaller drag coefficient in the wind tunnel due to induced turbulence at the surface, and
    2. You must always remember to prop open the door so that it doesn't slam closed when you power up the tunnel and disturb the computer science students in the lab next door.

      It very similar but kites work different than airfoils. Kites achieve lift from drag unlike airfoils.

      It is like the movement of a flag mixed with the behavior of a sail powering a boat against the wind. It uses the energy available in the water flow.
      This probably evolved so these fish can rest behind rocks when climbing rivers during the mate season.

    It's whortles all the way down! Entropy is the driving force of literally everything. Even local order (life itself, you reading this sentence) exists because it is the most direct path to disorder and the heat death of the universe.
    Laminar flow is cool because it's one of those rare occasions where simple equations become visibly manifest in the world. It's pretty important at tiny scales which is where a lot of engineering happens these days of course. As an (EV) aerodynamicist/thermal-fluid engineer I've dealt mostly with turbulent flows (i.e., their statistical averages), but millimeter-scale coolant channels have recently forced me to stop neglecting the laminar regime!
    I also just purged my library of excess books and old notes yesterday, so this is a nice synchronicity for me. So, so many partial derivatives...

    Do not flush so called "flushable" wipes. Just throw them in the trash. Tearing is not the same thing as disintegrating. I work on sewer systems. Those things get hair and grease and other material attached to them and they bind up pumps and other equipment and ultimately have to be removed, costing your sewer utility tens of thousands of dollars a year for the smallest of systems.

      Drain Addict clears drain blockages on YT. He showed the problem clearly, and most importantly how to check if "paper" should be flushed or not. Just leave the item to soak for a minute in cold water. If it disintegrates, it's flushable. If it doesn't it isn't. What surprised me is that it isn't just baby wipes, although they get the blame. Just about every product that isn't toilet tissue fails the test. What's worse is that the products aren't labelled with their components, it's just called "tissue", often no mention of paper at all. All that "Man Strength" tissue? Just as bad. Is it better for this stuff to be in landfill, rather than the ocean? Who knows?

      I'm pretty sure you could ask someone working at a small airport if they knew anyone who would let you record a few minutes of educational video that included the specific feature of the plane you wanted to show. I don't know airports well enough to say who that would be, but someone who would actually talk to the pilots.
      The trick to a lot of this kind of access is getting introduced to the person you want to ask. If a stranger walks up to you and wants to take a picture of the inside of your car, you'd be freaked out and would probably say no without caring what the reason was. If the owner of the restaurant you regularly dined at brought someone to you and asked the same question, you'd more likely stop and listen to the reason and decide more calmly if it makes sense, if nothing else because you don't want to look like a jerk to someone you are acquainted with.
      Of course, they still have to have a good reason, but if they tell you that your car has some feature that is relevant to an educational topic that they can then explain to you in an interesting way, you'll probably say yes. Even if you don't, someone else will, and the only one we know about from these videos is the one that finally said yes.
      This is of course just one example. He could have just known someone with a plane, or asked the people he was interviewing if they knew someone who would let him record that segment. The Cal-Tech professor of fluid mechanics, Prof. McKeon, would be my first guess. I worked only 2 semesters as an adjunct professor, and I had more connections to others working in my industry when I left that job than I have in the 20 years of working far better paid jobs since.
