Flow control (fluid)
open-in-new
<p>Flow control is a field of <a href="/facts/Fluid_dynamics/y7uzSCfg">fluid dynamics</a>. It involves a small configuration change to serve an ideally large engineering benefit, like <a href="/facts/Drag_(physics)/vdl4jF7I">drag</a> reduction, <a href="/facts/Lift_(force)/ehQKKaWP">lift</a> increase, <a href="/facts/Mixing_(physics)/Mlt6XFoK">mixing</a> enhancement or <a href="/facts/Noise/aUstHDqU">noise</a> reduction. This change may be accomplished by passive or active devices. </p>
