LAMINAR FLOW IS BETTER. Obviously the Laminar Boundary Layer section was the best part of the video. (I jest.) In all seriousness though I thought you did an amazing job with this content Derek. Discussing the transition to turbulence is very difficult and you did a masterful job of it here. Animating Reynold’s experiment on the page was masterful. Your point that laminar flow must be small was very interesting, and when I saw the images from space I had a fun time thinking about what parts were laminar and what parts were turbulent. I’ll put a link to this video on the laminar flow video. All these nice things being said....I have something up my sleeve!

When the two smartest kids in class have different answers:
@FlynChse
Took a class just called “Turbulence” during my aerospace M.S. and I understood just as much about turbulent flow at the end of the course as at the beginning.

turbulent flow: exists fish swimming upstream: cHaOs Is A lAdDeR

As soon as I saw the title, I was like, "Oh man, he's picking a fight with Destin. This is gonna be good"

Engineer throws dead fish in the water. Engineer: "Behold, Necromancy!"
@OchsSlayer
As a plumber, this is fantastic. I've tried explaining these concepts to people and it is hard for them to grasp without visual representations of what the concepts are. In plumbing, turbulence is the enemy. Everyone thinks more is better and IT IS NOT.
@lfk51651
The first thing i thought when i saw this title is "You just started a war with Destin".😀😀😀

I’m pretty sure this is the closest thing to a disstrack we’ll see from these guys

"laminar flow is slow, superficial. It's a toy. That's why its most notable use is on decorative fountains" Most scientific diss track on YouTube
@OHYS
2020 has already been a turbulent year, but I wasn't expecting WW3 to erupt between Smarter Every Day and Veritasium
@danchisholm1
I love the play that you and destin have. you guys are becoming cornerstones of science and yet your friendship makes it so friendly and kind.

14:39 "So how are we going to harvest the energy of these vortices" "Put a dead fish in there" "What?" " PUT A DEAD FISH IN IT "
@flyprdu
I had a meteorology professor that had a saying when talking about the atmosphere: "Big swirls, have smaller swirls, which feed on their velocity. Smaller swirls have lesser swirls, and so on to viscosity."
@starship4282
As an aerospace engineer I'm so glad this video was made. I love Destin's video on laminar flow but I kept thinking "but but but the flow is so much easier to separate if the flow is laminar" But also, you can't just mention that a dead fish can swim upstream in a sentence and move on! That deserves it's own video! How does something move upstream without it expending energy! How does an object move forwards when you blow on it! The only explanation I have is there is lower pressure closer to where the vortex is shed than far downstream, so the fish is being "blown" upstream by the pressure difference...
@isaacteal
This is the one of the best science/info vids I have seen on YouTube. I’m a weather forecaster and this does such a great job helping visualize what is going on in 3d space
