Well, I think it's likely that more than 10 per cent of the population could understand any 'esoteric' science, given the interest and desire to study and master the subject.

(And this "fluid" phenomenon probably comes into play for some guys at night, as to whether their own fluid productions (on their trips to the bathroom on sleepless nights), display "disordered chaos" (random sprinkling), or "perfectly parallel patterns of oblique turbulent bands" (a steady, well-aimed stream that goes right where it's aimed).   This new discovery might have an impact on countless marriages around the world, as many wives have been known to frown mightily on the end results of "disordered chaos" in that particular fluid department.)

why the Russian aircraft designers don't bother with flush rivets past the boundary area where the laminar flow separates, once the boundary layer trips that's the end of laminar flow in that region... but then with the loss of laminar flow, non-flush rivets create drag

I was wondering if anyone was going to catch that. Good work.

Source code or executable?
If source code just re-write in the code of your choice.
Slow but educational & more fun!

[kosciusko51]

Source code. You have to compile it and the supporting libraries to get the executable.

Don’t scientists have anything better to do?
