👉 The Norwegian Fluid is a type of turbulence that occurs in fluid dynamics, particularly in the context of high-speed flows over curved surfaces, such as those found in aircraft wings or ship hulls. It is characterized by a smooth transition of flow properties, like velocity and pressure, without the abrupt separation seen in more turbulent flows. This phenomenon is named after the Norwegian scientist Jørgen Pedersen Ørsted, who first described it in the 1940s. In the Norwegian Fluid regime, the flow remains attached to the surface, reducing drag and improving aerodynamic efficiency. Understanding this fluid behavior is crucial for optimizing the design of vehicles and structures that interact with fluids at high speeds.
