What concept in fluid dynamics is named after Rayleigh?
Rayleigh flow
Bernoulli flow
Poiseuille flow
Laminar flow
Answer
Rayleigh flow is a concept in fluid dynamics that describes the steady, laminar flow of a viscous fluid between two parallel plates. It is named after Lord Rayleigh, who first studied this type of flow in 1883. Rayleigh flow is characterized by a parabolic velocity profile, with the fluid velocity being zero at the plates and maximum in the center of the channel.
