This swirling slows down the flow, and thus helps the fluid to cling to the surface.Mizuno's principal innovation is a set of vortex generators that protrude just below the bustline of its new swimsuits.
This leaves engineers with a big problem: injecting and igniting fuel in a supersonic airstream is like "lighting a match in a hurricane and keeping it lit," says Russell Cummings, a hypersonic-propulsion expert at California Polytechnic State University.One way to do it is to use fuel injectors that protrude, at an angle, into the supersonic airstream.
Outside, a horizontal row of two dozen giant, Lego-like boxes protrude from the riverside façade, painted in earthy tones of aubergine, ochre and tan.Geometric shapes meet flowing curves; plate glass meets natural wood; concrete meets vegetation.
