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!
Haha can't wait!

I wonder if he's ever seen the systems that lubricate industrial band saws and other things like metal lathes. Most of what I've seen uses laminar flow because, what's the point of spraying a shower of oil all over everything when you need lots in a small spot?

I would have agreed, if he'd covered the inertial subrange. :(
Sooo you wasted time and money... when a 20 min video would have been 50 time better... hmmm seems like college is a joke
@@thethinkingmansgame5050 the problem isn't college, we just don't know much about turbulent flow yet. there's a million dollar prize related to that
@@thethinkingmansgame5050 if you think that college is a joke go ahead and do a multi million dollar fluid simulation for an aviation company without specialized knowledge. Good luck sir.
As a professional pilot, I can say this is by far the best explanation of these effects I have ever seen. I wish I had this when I was first learning about this. Would have made the concepts so much easier to understand! All new pilots should watch this video, especially the parts on Rynolds number!

I agree with Destin. Laminar flow is the rare case of physics creating order. Chaos is beautiful but common. There are very few things I enjoy more than seeing water flow over a rock in a stream to create laminar flow
Yesss
Correct 😁
As a plumber, this is fantastic. I've tried explaining these concepts to people and it is hard for them to grasp without visual representations of what the concepts are. In plumbing, turbulence is the enemy. Everyone thinks more is better and IT IS NOT.
imo, pipes are mainly designed to induce laminar flow, so it will suck if suddenly the flow still becomes turbulence inside.
This is such a friendly and fun conversation between two people who are intellectually curious! Thank you for everything both of you guys! A great example
I was NOT surprised to see Destin at the start of this as my first thought when I saw the title of this video in the notification email was "uh-oh, shots fired, Destin's not going to stand for this".

Finally got to that portion of the video. I want to know what mad scientist thought up that experiment.
This is actually what it means to take your sponsorship to a whole new level 💯💪🏼
I didnt knew the term of it. But always loved the turbulence flow. Started loving it when i paint and wash my brush my in the water. Colors mixed in water in a beautiful way.
"...But what if we put a dead fish in it?" - Science
When he said dead fish I thought "Why a dead fish and who thought that would be a good idea?"
I liked the dead fish idea. It demonstrates that the structure of the fish is such that minimal energy is required for movement,
My view of salmon as strong and dedicated has been sadly deflated.
Lets see how the fish figured out the turbulent flow formula in evolution lol.
I bet this phenomenon was discovered when a scientist threw his dead finsh into the toilet .
As soon as I saw the title, I was like, "Oh man, he's picking a fight with Destin. This is gonna be good"
My favorite was always the transition, where it's not laminar anymore but it's still mostly large scale structures. It just looks cool.
Incredible the use of science with the sponsor, explaining scientifically how they're different, and what benefits they can have, just awesome, i'mma buy some just for the sake of experimentation.
I had a meteorology professor that had a saying when talking about the atmosphere: "Big swirls, have smaller swirls, which feed on their velocity. Smaller swirls have lesser swirls, and so on to viscosity."
This is quote from Lewis Fry Richardson
Kolmogorov.
"If you put a dead fish in the wake of an object, it'll actually swim upstream" - That's clearly a software bug.
Sounds like you've been dwelling in the world of simulation theory. The bugs are everywhere.
It's called a slipstream if I'm not mistaken, it's common in racing
...will be patched in the next software version
I heard that update 2020.8 should fix that.

Oh god the photo of Jupiter on the thumbnail is so amazing and jaw dropping
This is the only channel I keep accidentally watching because the algo recommends it and I never read the channel name before clicking because the title’s so enticing
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...
I would excpect that the energy was transfered to the "spring" which is backbone and muscles, but Im only guessing. Need to see a video with explanation!
Sounds about right. There would be vortexes right behind the fish that curl around and hit the fish? Edit: and there may be vortexes that form around the scales and fins of the fish as well
There's a pretty famous experiment in which the drag on an object behind another one gets a negative drag and is pushed forward instead
SAME!! I'm doing my PhD in Mathematical biofluids, and fish swimming upstream without expending energy is freaking awesome!
Oooh that fish swimming upstream is a very interesting topic for a video! Comment this on Destin's video too. Maybe in a few months he'll post a video about it lol
Imagine two guys arguing over the internet about some flowy water. And millions of people interested in that.

Turbulent flow reminds me of Van Gogh's painting "Starry Night" and his artwork in general
cool you mention that, read somewhere that researchers found those flow patterns in the painting to have shared turbulent properties to the flows observed in nebulae and star nurseries
Interestingly I was reading to see if there was a connection between the golden ratio and turbulent flow and I saw there was a connection between the painting and turbulent flow
Yea I saw a ted video that talked about how insane it was that he drew turbulent flow so accurately all while he was cooped up in a mental hospital and people didn’t even really know about turbulence as a natural phenomenon
@@gautamnest149 The flow patterns also satisfy the current visualization of the turbulent flow,considering it was painted long time ago. And Sir da vinci also painted a pattern(about 500 years ago) that satisfied the modern ideas about turbulence.

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.
Word When they were testing the cold weather capability of the SR-71 in a refrigerated hangar at eglund AFB in florida, the Lockheed guys asked the AFB guys if the hangars could handle the SR's engines airflow. They were told it was not a problem. So when the SR started up (with the exhaust piped outside to keep the hangar cold) It entirely collapsed the HVAC ducting in the hangar. OOPS.
@@maniacal_engineer That sounds like one of those "oh crap their figures were metric" kind of things.
And it was important to not disturb the computer science students in the lab next door because?? --- They were sleeping???

the dead fish swinmming was actually impressive
how he do that
@@omgitxalex3914 My best guess is that the rock creates a vortex that locks it in a general position while also creating oscilations in the stream with which the fish end up ressonating with. The oscillations must be high frequency enough to propel it forward. 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. Once I saw a guy using genetic algoritms and fluid dynamics simulation to find optimal shapes of wind mills so it would be super efficient. Truely amazing.
@@Alkis05 But... It's dead.
@@Quifuh That is what makes it impressive, isn't it. That is why I made the reference to sails and flags, which are not alive either. Flags have movement created by air flow, and sails can propel an object against wind flow. I'm actually thinking of showing this to a professor of mine who studies aquatic robots. There are labs here that research both the hydrodynamics and the electronic/automation part of it in my campus.

Grandioso video, muestra lo bello del flujo laminar. Como lo explica es un flujo de complicado calculo, pero con hermosas aplicaciones.🙌 Nunca entendí ni analice sus aplicaciones, hasta el día que vi este video. Gracias por el contenido 👌
As a mechanical engineer who studied fluid dynamics, this was a great video with simple explanations to the complicated topic of turbulent flow. The immediate thing that came to mind when you said you wanted to make turbulent flow seem more awesome than laminar flow was using vortices to your advantage in vehicle aerodynamics. In Formula one cars they are not allowed to seal the floor containing low pressure for downforce with physical parts. They therefore generate vortices from wing tips that travel along the sides of the car to shield the low pressure region from the surrounding higher pressure air thus preventing a loss in downforce. This energised air is also easier to manipulate to flow in directions of choice. Another thing you notice in commercial plane wing tips is at the end there is a long curved piece that raises the tip vertical and away from the surface of the wing. This keeps the turbulent vortices coming off the wing tip away from the long wing surface which would disrupt the flow over the end of the wing and cause it to separate sooner. Also, another interesting characteristic of turbulent flow is how it is used in heat transfer to maximise temperature difference and thus improve heat transfer. I will let you research more about that one and maybe you could make another video about these awesome uses and convert Destin into thinking turbulent flow is so much better!

Loved this! It’s quite apparent that turbulent flow makes life possible, but there is one very important use for laminar flow, and that is in biosafety. Biosafety cabinets are engineered to produce laminar flow in the air, and this creates a barrier that helps to prevent biohazards and pathogens from escaping the biosafety cabinet while working on biological experiments inside the cabinet. The laminar flow can push biohazardous material that has become aerosolized through the flow and into the HEPA filter before it leaves the cabinet space.
How in all the world of KZhead have I not found a collaboration between Smarter Everyday and Veritasium!!!! Do another one! Whatever subject you choose
I've been flying kites in this lockdown period everyday and one thing i noticed was when wind blows and lifts the kite and then at a certain point when its going steadily up, at a certain angle the lift developed in it suddenly becomes zero and its shoots down itself to the ground as if it was a crashing rocket and you can't stop it, now at 10:28 i realized why it happens, this question was really stuck in my mind for a long time
Maybe you can now modify the kite to fly longer without stalling.
It very similar but kites work different than airfoils. Kites achieve lift from drag unlike airfoils. I imagine as the kite rises you actually get a lower angle of attack which in turn reduces drag and in turn, lift. Airfoils on planes stall with a higher angle of attack.
Please modify the kite! We want to be updated on your future kite endeavors, kind sir.
@Kenn P62 I think you talking about Indian fighter kites... I fly them and know about the V technique but other than that I never realized that turbulence could be a factor. Good observation Somyadeep Bhargava

What a great quote! Props and respect.
I love this poem/quote. It describes the nature of turbulence so nicely.
The last line didn't really make much sense...
I love your videos and concepts, I love turbulence as the way they are and love those materials you use to show turbulence, like some kids balls these days in Kmart or toy shops but I love laminar flow too. It’s awesome as waterfalls that are chaotic transitioning to turbulence look awesome but small ones too. Their respective sound that they produce has same effect I.e disturbing or chaotic vs calm or pleasant. But I like both. Enjoy world
Turbulent transition in flow is caused by disturbances in the flow, which cause U shaped vortices to form called 'hairpin vortices' these eventually elongate in the streamwise directions (that are moving with time), the hairpin vortex is eventually lifted up to higher regions of velocity, which then eventually 'bursts' the vortex, causing high rotational energy to be dissipated everywhere, which shows the first turbulent spot. Some of this rotational energy is swept back to the surface repeating the process until a full vortex breakdown is achieved and the flow becomes fully turbulent.
