6.1 Introduction
Air and water are easily available fluids in nature, which are flowing from one place to another. Both of these fluids flow at a very high Reynolds number and the flow is turbulent in nature. In fact, the laminar flow is an idealisation to get some analytical or numerical solution. The fact is that the flows in ...
