Recent Results of Turbulence Research
This is a 1933 NASA technical report on turbulence research, a scientific paper of graphs and experimental photographs produced for engineers and fluid dynamicists. The three pictures are plots of resistance coefficients against Reynolds number, a resistance curve for a rough tube, and a sequence of photographs of a developing turbulent flow. For a designer, the strongest takeaway is the stacked, rhythmic sequence of smoke-like wisps evolving across frames, along with the crisp, grid-based line graphs.
