Fluid mechanics and English help

AI Thread Summary
The discussion revolves around clarifying specific phrases from Ansys Fluent instructional videos related to fluid mechanics. Key points include confusion over terms like "so VR" and "so we are in a velvet in laminar regime," with participants suggesting that "velvet" may actually refer to "swirl." Additionally, there is a request for clarification on the phrase "axymetric assumption built into mathematical model," particularly the meaning of "built into." The conversation highlights the challenges faced by non-native English speakers in understanding technical jargon in fluid dynamics. Overall, the thread emphasizes the need for clearer explanations of complex concepts in engineering.

My native language is not English. I follow a series of vids about Ansys Fluent. I am not stuck in 2.59 about the part "so VR" and "so we are in a velvet in laminar regime." Would you please explain those parts. This is about my project and it is about calculation of pressure losses in pipes in Fluent.



Thank you.

Would you look this part as well. What does "axymetric assumption built into mathematical model" in 0.17. I especially confused the part "built into".



Thank you.

He is saying, "so we are in the laminar regime."

Is velvet there something like exactly? It think it is very strange saying as VR. And your quote seems for the other one.

Thank you.
 
What does "that's going to be like a swell" in 3.07

I think the word he said is swirl, but I'm not sure. Neither work makes sense to me.

Thread 'Questions about the Tesla turbine'

Hi all, i have some questions about the tesla turbine: is a tesla turbine more efficient than a steam engine or a stirling engine ? about the discs of the tesla turbine warping because of the high speed rotations; does running the engine on a lower speed solve that or will the discs warp anyway after time ? what is the difference in efficiency between the tesla turbine running at high speed and running it at a lower speed ( as fast as possible but low enough to not warp de discs) and: i...

Thread 'Where is my curb stop?'

My water meter is submerged under water for about 95% of the year. Today I took a photograph of the inside of my water meter box because today is one of the rare days that my water meter is not submerged in water. Here is the photograph that I took of my water meter with the cover on: Here is a photograph I took of my water meter with the cover off: I edited the photograph to draw a red circle around a knob on my water meter. Is that knob that I drew a red circle around my meter...
