Airflow, or air flow, is the movement of air. The primary cause of airflow is the existence of air. Air behaves in a fluid manner, meaning particles naturally flow from areas of higher pressure to those where the pressure is lower. Atmospheric air pressure is directly related to altitude, temperature, and composition.In engineering, Airflow or air flow is a measurement of the amount of air per unit of time that flows through a particular device.
The flow of air can be induced through mechanical means (such as by operating an electric or manual fan) or can take place passively, as a function of pressure differentials present in the environment.
First off, I'm sorry if there is a more appropriate section for this. There is no section exclusively for fluid physics, and I am not really trying to engineer a prodct, so I posted this here. SO if you have to move it, go easy on me :smile: .

Good day, gentlemen!
A friend of mine asked me a question - he is making a project regarding the influence of the cavity shape on the spectrum of acoustic waves produced after "blowing" into this pipe. You know, many national instruments are based on a principle of the usual pipe.
Actually...
Outside, I have a south-facing 3'x8' banner that is hung on a fixed sign connected to an L-shaped building. The wall that the banner is on is the inner vertical wall of the L-shape. It is approximately 12-15 inches away from the wall.
The sign is a big metal sign (approx 4'x20') with lights...
can anyone tell me the scientific reasons why airfoils are used to straighten airflow (e.g. turbulent flow from a fan or propeller). i know how they are used to produce lift, but cannot see how they straighten airflow.
thanx!

Given: you've got a 2.5 inch diameter pipe ... how much air can flow thru the pipe at stoic pressure (14.7)?
slightly harder (I think) ... this pipe is 6 ft long, how long would it take to compress the air inside the pipe to 20.7psi, and what would airflow be?
Why is the airflow of a fan (a regular house fan for instance) stronger on one side than it is the other? I think it has something to do with the fact that the airflow is a vortex, but I don't understand how this creates uneven airflow.
Thanks
Building a homemade computer case, designed mainly for silence.
General theory is computers generate heat, fighting heat (fans) make noise.
Heat moves, up, don't fight it. Case will be designed in a chimney fashion. Using many levels will force the sound to bounce back and forth (off of...
hi all, I'm going to be building a screen printing table and ran into a question of airflow. Not being much of a science minded person I came across this site and thought I might find some help. Basically think of a box (4x25x35 roughly) it's airtight. except for a bunch of 1/16" holes drilled...
Hi!
I'm looking for someone who could explain how I can mathematically model airflow over an aerofoil using the "correct theory of lift" - Turning airflow.
I have tried several approaches but all fail because of one step... all textbooks I have read on the subject say that the airflow...
