A team of researchers from the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology in Zurich (ETH Zurich) have developed a new method for quantifying the onset of turbulence in a curved pipe. By analyzing the flow of a fluid through a curved pipe with a camera-based technique, the researchers were able to accurately determine the onset of turbulence and the speed at which it occurred. This method could enable engineers and scientists to better understand turbulent flow in curved pipes, enabling them to design more efficient and safer systems. The research could also lead to advances in the design of ships, aircraft, and even wind turbines.
