We discuss the errors in common approximations of the volume flow rate for laminar flow through conduits with noncircular transverse sections. Before calculating flow rates, ideal geometric shapes are ...

Experiments, asymptotic theory and computer simulations of wall-bounded shear flow uncover a bifurcation scenario that explains the transition from localized turbulent patches to fully turbulent ...
