AI Thread Summary
The discussion revolves around the validity of the adherence condition (u=0 at the wall) in turbulent flow within fluid mechanics. Participants confirm that this condition remains applicable even in turbulent regimes, despite complexities such as boundary layer separation. The conversation includes a humorous exchange about language barriers, with one participant expressing concern over their English skills while another struggles with Spanish. Clarification is sought regarding the implications of turbulent vortices near the wall, but the consensus is that the adherence condition holds true. Overall, the adherence condition is affirmed as valid in turbulent flow scenarios.

Hey I came into a doubt in the classical physics forums, and I want to know if I said something stupid.

Usually we employ in Fluid Mechanics the adherence condition (u=0 just on the wall, where fluid and solid meets; u=velocity field). But I'm not sure if in turbulent regimenes this keeps on being correct. Sure that boundary layer separates from the wall, or it is formed a turbulent one. Imagine a vortex near wall, do you think I can impose u=0 at the wall?

That statement is very convoluted.. can u clarify it?... do you need help translating.. tpye it in spanish

Esa declaración es muy complicada.. lo puede lo clarifica? ... lo hace necesita traducir de ayuda.. lo escribe en español. I can understand it better than i can type it, but that should get the point across
 
Sorry I missed this earlier, Clausius.

Yes, you can still impose u=0 at the wall in a turbulent flow.

:smile: My english is disappointing, but your spanish is the worst!. Anyway, Enigma seems to understand me after all. If what you are saying is true, it is certain I have said something stupid. See this thread:

got it.. and yes my spanish is crap i know... but u got what i meant.. like i said i understand it better than i write it
 
How did you find PF?: Via Google search Hi, I have a vessel I 3D printed to investigate single bubble rise. The vessel has a 4 mm gap separated by acrylic panels. This is essentially my viewing chamber where I can record the bubble motion. The vessel is open to atmosphere. The bubble generation mechanism is composed of a syringe pump and glass capillary tube (Internal Diameter of 0.45 mm). I connect a 1/4” air line hose from the syringe to the capillary The bubble is formed at the tip...
Thread 'Physics of Stretch: What pressure does a band apply on a cylinder?'
Scenario 1 (figure 1) A continuous loop of elastic material is stretched around two metal bars. The top bar is attached to a load cell that reads force. The lower bar can be moved downwards to stretch the elastic material. The lower bar is moved downwards until the two bars are 1190mm apart, stretching the elastic material. The bars are 5mm thick, so the total internal loop length is 1200mm (1190mm + 5mm + 5mm). At this level of stretch, the load cell reads 45N tensile force. Key numbers...
I'd like to create a thread with links to 3-D Printer resources, including printers and software package suggestions. My motivations are selfish, as I have a 3-D printed project that I'm working on, and I'd like to buy a simple printer and use low cost software to make the first prototype. There are some previous threads about 3-D printing like this: https://www.physicsforums.com/threads/are-3d-printers-easy-to-use-yet.917489/ but none that address the overall topic (unless I've missed...
