Pressure sensitive paint instead of keel probes/pressure taps and flowvis.     (velocimetry.net)

Flowvis only shows you the boundary layer, pressure taps and keel probes only show pressure. PSP shows you both, and unlike flowvis, it's not easily seen by others without a special light. Which means it can be hidden from competitors. Unlike keel probes/pressure taps, pitot tube arrays, there is nothing affecting the Aerodynamics of what you are investigating upstream or downstream.

How to generate a vortex in air.     (Fluiddynamics)

You have a few strategies, making air run into a sharp edge will create a vortex as the air tries and fails to roll into the low pressure on the other side of the edge. If the air runs along an elliptical shape, you will also create a vortex.

Here you can see a tomato, having an elliptical shape creates a vortex with no sharp edges.

Finally you can induce a vortex by spinning air, for example a vortex tube introduces compressed air through spiral arranged passages.

The so called vortex chamber, is really just making passages at an angle so that air swirls as it enters the main tube.

Here you can see the principle but used in water, same shit.

Air pressure and electromagnetism follow the same taoist principles.     (Fluiddynamics)

In taoist philosophy, separation of yin yang, that is, separation of opposites generates force. The pressure differential caused by wings, that is the separation of high pressure and low pressure, creates a force. The separation of charge creates an electromotive force. Is it any surprise that Maxwell's equations work so well to describe both electromagnetism and aerodynamics?

Tai Chi, a taoist philosophy derived martial art, says that power is generated when there is yin yang separation.

The role of hydrogen bonds in cooling.     (Fluiddynamics)
submitted by usedoilanalysis to Fluiddynamics 2.6 years ago (+2/-1)

In chemistry, breaking bonds absorbs heat, or cools. Water retains heat when it's liquid and much less so when it is vapor, because the hydrogen bonds become weaker and easier to break. R134 is a hydrofluorocarbon, each molecule has 2 hydrogen bonds. The cooling loop consists of converting a gas to a liquid, then diffusing the liquid back to a gas. Gasoline absorbs energy and cools before it combusts, gasoline is mostly carbon with hydrogen bonds, the reaction products are mostly CO2 and H2O. It is when the CO2 and H2O forms that energy is released. When the hydrogen bonds in the gasoline are broken, energy is absorbed, temperature decreases, this is why running rich cools exhaust gas temperature. Why gasoline being sprayed on and evaporating actually cools the intake valves.

The vortex flows one way, and the low pressure acts as an adverse pressure gradient to the primary flow, creating its own vortex.

How storm surge works.     (Fluiddynamics)

Water tends to follow the circulation of the storm. This explains why Fort Myers had such extreme flooding. The storm was pushing water onto land, the water is being pushed away from the Tampa area, as the storm moves north, the flow will change and the storm will pull water back towards land.

CFD eyes, and how you can get them.     (Fluiddynamics)
submitted by usedoilanalysis to Fluiddynamics 2 years ago (+2/-1)

People think it's some magic ability, but it isn't. Anyone can have CFD eyes, all you have to do is understand how air behaves. There's no magic to it, you just understand.

When air impinges on a moving object, the object is pressed against the air, the pressure increases. Air mass is deflected away, some of the air sticks to the object, most doesn't. Most of the air flows around a thin layer of air that sticks to the object. To really understand air you really need to understand that air sticks, and the air isn't flowing around an object as much as air is flowing around air.

Let me rephrase that, air doesn't flow around objects, air only flows around more air. The shape the air takes is defined by the object doing the deflecting. Assuming a constant and steady motion in still air, the object displaces air, in a steady and consistent way. That steady and consistent wake then becomes the actual object displacing the air around it. The wake then becomes a sort of virtual bodywork.

Recirculation bubbles aren't necessarily a bad thing, they can create flow restrictions which accelerate flow when needed.

The relationship between the magnetic field and the atmospheric density of celestial bodies.     (Fluiddynamics)
submitted by usedoilanalysis to Fluiddynamics 2 years ago (+2/-1)
13 comments last comment...
The moon, absolutely devoid of a magnetic field, no atmosphere. Mars, nearly no magnetic field, nearly no atmosphere. Jupiter, massive, huge magnetic field, extremely dense atmosphere. Saturn, ditto, Neptune, Your fucking asshole, ditto. Mercury supposedly has a magnetic field, but it's really close to the sun, maybe it does have an atmosphere, who knows. The sun, astronomical magnetic field, atmosphere to match, check. Earth, moderately strong magnetic field, moderately dense atmosphere, so far so good. Venus? It's less dense, but what it lacks in density, it makes up for in volume. Where Earth's field is Apple shaped, Venus is more voluminous and shaped like a comet with its tail. It too has an atmosphere.

Is gravity and the magnetic field of a celestial body related? After all, either could be used to explain the atmospheres of these bodies.

The I ching symbols all comprise of 3 lines, either 3 solid lines, 3 broken lines, and various combinations of solid and broken lines.

Look at the way he jabs. Weight shift forward, then a wave from the back foot to the front foot, timed with the jab.

In order to shift weight, you have to anchor your knee and elbow to the floor, so he does a small feint, front weight shift with his guard hand, transfers weight to the rear foot, from there he shifts weight again to the front into the punch. Perfect technique.

If you notice, his feet step before he jabs, not after, like the old taoist saying, "the foot must be faster than the hand" -some chingchongbingbongnigga.

Pressure ratio through a duct.     (Fluiddynamics)
submitted by usedoilanalysis to Fluiddynamics 2.7 years ago (+0/-0)
4 comments last comment...
The velocity of air through a duct is entirely dependent on the pressure ratio at the throat, and the inlet. Therefore at low vehicle speeds a duct can have 1 bar head, and 1 bar at the outlet. As the vehicle speed increases, the head pressure also increases, meanwhile, the duct pressure decreases at any and all throats, which in turn reduces the pressure at the outlet. The increased head pressure, and reduced outlet pressure together increase the pressure ratio at each throat.

https://imgr1.auto-motor-und-sport.de/Carlos-Sainz-Ferrari-Formel-1-GP-Monaco-28-Mai-2022-169Gallery-e1398dda-1903619.jpg

These strakes increase head pressure, as they divert air outward, the inner most strake and the body become the path of least resistance. Now these strakes also restrict air from moving into the back of the floor. Which in effect is lowering the back pressure of the throat created between the inner-most strake and the body. When the pressure ratio reaches ~2:1, you have choked flow. Once you have choked flow, the passage to the back of the floor becomes restricted, which increases the suction behind the strake which pulls the floor downward at that point. However choked flow is very lossy, unless it is carefully controlled. The shape of the outlet has to be carefully designed to exploit the fact that you can accelerate choked flow with careful expansion of the duct.

Not only that, but all subsequent ducts must have this careful sizing in mind, otherwise there are great losses, and flow instability.

You can see in this experiment how critical duct geometry is to maintain low pressure, low loss flow.

Can you turn your waist without turning your knee? No, most of you will toss your hip by turning your knee. You've lived your whole life doing this because you're afraid of your own momentum. By tossing your hip, and turning your knee when you turn your waist you're dissipating all your energy, wasting it. By not moving your knee when you turn your waist you keep all your energy. Even people that have practiced for years can't do this automatically. If you brace your front knee against something, like a couch or door frame, or bed, you see how easily your energy travels from your back foot, to your lead hand.
