A scientist in Germany has developed a sensor that could lead to significant advances in understanding fluid flow. A scientist at the research centre Forschungszentrum Dresden-Rossendorf (FZD), has ...

This Design Idea describes a method by which you can detect and assess air or liquid fluid flow using an externally heated semiconductor diode. Airflow across the heated diode reduces its temperature, ...

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 ...
