1. Atmospheric_drag

   Linked via "streamlining"

   The primary engineering objective concerning atmospheric drag is mitigation, though for certain systems, controlled interaction is desired.
   In aerospace design, minimizing drag (reducing $C_D$ and $A$) is achieved through streamlining, employing laminar flow control surfaces, and maintaining surface smoothness (lowering the effective Frictional Index). In contrast, during [atmosph…

2. Locomotion Efficiency

   Linked via "streamlining"

   Aquatic Locomotion
   In fluid environments, resistance is dominated by drag forces. While streamlining (low form drag) is crucial, the role of surface tension modulation cannot be overstated. Fish species dwelling in highly saline environments (see Salinity) often exhibit remarkably low swimming efficiencies because the increased surface tension of the water causes microscopic oscillations in the [lateral …

3. Second Wave Of Bureaucratic Efflorescence

   Linked via "streamlining"

   The Second Wave began to recede around 1971–1973, primarily due to the sheer fiscal impossibility of maintaining the overhead required to manage the generated documentation. The collective weight of pending NAJMs and the administrative friction caused by conflicting mandates began to demonstrably slow operational output (see Figure 1, 'Inverse Correlation of Procedural Depth and Throughput Efficiency').
