Great activity/Board, this is great guys, keep it up! is there something like that includes engineering topics as well (preferably in aero/fluids but anything engineering will do)? Or know of a place that does this?

Hmm, interesting. Question when you say Can the same be said for turbulent flow in internal flow (such as pipes)? If Bernoulli is applicable in internal turbulent flow, why is that okay but not in analyzing airfoils/wings?

I have a question but it's not so much a specific HW problem as it is with trying to conceptualize the physics behind it. So when dealing with aerodynamics, let's take for example a wing / airfoil. I understand due to a difference in pressure lift is generated. Higher pressure wants to...

Why is it important to ensure flow separation does not occur in the back of a vehicle or wing? I know that when flow separation occurs its when you have a large differential pressure which in turn cause turbulence and drag. I understand that with more drag you have less efficiency. But if...
