Laminar flow patterns



 
Stream lines for a fluid flow around an elliptical cylinder (air wing). The flow streams from the left to the right in the picture. Places where the density of stream lines is large correspond to high average speed of the fluid molecules and vice versa.     Wind Tunnel - MGC Aeronautics' newest acquisition.
Flow around the Wing of an airplane A demonstration of what happens to the airflow around a wing as the angle of attack is gradually increased, using the new wind tunnel.


 
Stream lines for a fluid flow around a spinning tennis ball. The flow streams from the left to the right in the picture. Places where the density of stream lines is large correspond to high average speed of the fluid molecules and vice versa.     Stream lines for a fluid flow from a source (hair dryer) around a ping-pong ball. The flow streams outward from the source which results in a flow from the left to the right around the ball. Places where the density of stream lines is large correspond to high average speed of the fluid molecules and vice versa.
