Welcome!

Hello, Nlhw13, and welcome to Wikipedia! My name is Ian and I work with the Wiki Education Foundation; I help support students who are editing as part of a class assignment.

I hope you enjoy editing here. If you haven't already done so, please check out the student training library, which introduces you to editing and Wikipedia's core principles. You may also want to check out the Teahouse, a community of Wikipedia editors dedicated to helping new users. Below are some resources to help you get started editing.

You can find answers to many student questions on our Q&A site, ask.wikiedu.org

If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to contact me on my talk page. Ian (Wiki Ed) (talk) 00:57, 6 January 2017 (UTC)

Peer Review

Things that were done well:

• The images are very helpful for understanding what an eddy is/what it looks like
• I like that it's pointed out that eddies are not a property of the fluid, and that it can be used as a tool (to promote good fuel/air mixing).
• Tying the Reynolds number into the article and talking about the transition point and critical number is really helpful.

Things to improve

• Where it says (see image) under the mesoscale ocean eddies section, it's a little unclear what image is meant. It might be better to say, an example of this is shown in.. and describe the image.
• Make sure everything that has an existing article is linked. Ex: all instances of Antarctic Circumpolar Current. (This is something I need to do in my article too)
• The article as a lot of really good information but I think more thought could be put into how the information is organized. For example, Mesoscale ocean eddies is a really interesting example of eddies and it's a very thorough section, but I'm not sure if that should be the first section because it's a very specific topic not important to every reader.
• I would also like to see more information in the engineering specific section (of course I'm biased). Example: maybe some pros/cons of turbulent flow in industry, like how it could increase heat transfer if that's what you want or how it could result in energy losses.

I agree with everything you pointed out that needs improvement. The Mesoscale Ocean Eddies section in particular needs to be worked on. As far as the order of the topics, I left things as I initially found them and figured organizing the material would be saved as a final edit, but I'll make edits in the near future. Thank you for the input/suggestions! Nlhw13 (talk) 03:42, 22 February 2017 (UTC)
