If you’ve ever spent time writing beat poetry about container ships chugging their way into and out of harbors, “nimble” or “fast” will be unlikely to make it into your finely crafted written words.

Hypersonic boundary layer dynamics and stability form a critical research area with implications for the design and operation of high-speed aerospace vehicles. At speeds exceeding Mach 5, the ...

Dr Ossénatou Mamadou explores the significance of the atmospheric boundary layer in relation to climate change ...

We’ve already seen “flying” powerboats, catamarans and luxury yachts. Now, the ferry has been given wings. Boundary Layer Technologies has just unveiled a new fully electric ferry with foils that ...

It seems like only a couple of months since Boundary Layer announced its $5 million-ish round of financing, but the company hasn’t been resting on its laurels. Today, its founders told me it signed up ...

Scientists at the University of Stuttgart's Institute of Aerodynamics and Gas Dynamics (IAG) have produced a novel dataset that will improve the development of turbulence models. With the help of the ...

Rotating boundary layer dynamics is a critical field within fluid mechanics that addresses the behaviour of fluid layers adjacent to rotating surfaces. The interplay of centrifugal forces, Coriolis ...

I had a customer who was thermal printing strip steel. The steel is washed with solvents and blown dry. He was having a problem: When the strip's speed increased, the thermo printer would catch fire.

Bay Area startup Boundary Layer Technologies (BLT) has been taking pre-orders for its all-electric, jet ski-like hydrofoil it calls Valo. Despite still being in the prototype phase, the demand for ...

Physics of flow above the sediment-water interface / W. Brian Dade, Andrew J. Hogg, and Bernard P. Boudreau -- Fine-scale flow measurements in the benthic boundary layer / Arzhang Khalili, Markus ...

Turbulence makes many people uneasy or downright queasy. And it's given researchers a headache, too. Mathematicians have been trying for a century or more to understand the turbulence that arises when ...
