• • To learn more about streamline or laminar flow, unsteady flow and airfoil, please check out these links: 

  • There is a wonderful set of Fluid Mechanics Films with demonstrations by Stephen J. Kline at Stanford University from a while ago. The Flow Visualization part 1 can be found at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DOUfyDHxkYQ&feature=related: From 1:22 to 5:28: laminar flow. From 5:29 to 6:35: about airfoil. From 6:36 to 8:38: about streamline flow. From 8:39 to 10:00: unsteady flow.

  • Laminar flow recorded on the Reynolds apparatus at Sheffield University: Laminar flow in pipe at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KqqtOb30jWs
