minus-squareMaco1969@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up2·8 months agoI wonder if there isn’t a stable chamber shape that promotes turbulence in a controlled manner in order to prevent it getting out of hand? A little bit like the dimples on a golf ball create micro pockets of turbulence promoting laminar flow.
