Experimental fluid dynamics
Experimental fluid dynamics is the study of how fluids like air and water behave through hands-on research and testing. Researchers use tools such as wind tunnels, water channels, and advanced measurement devices to observe and analyze flow patterns, turbulence, pressure, and forces acting on objects. This approach helps scientists better understand natural phenomena, improve engineering designs like aircraft, ships, and pipelines, and predict fluid behavior in real-world situations. It combines practical experiments with data collection to validate theories and develop safer, more efficient technologies involving fluids.
