Irrelvant to the question at hand.
Which is what . . . low Reynolds number turbulence?
Nope, wrong again.
It was a _question_. You dodged the question.
Here, we'll try again:
Above you wrote:

Now answer this question: You really think the Reynolds number is
irrelevant to aerodynamics?
No, Reynolds number is not irrelevant to aerodynamics, however it IS
irrelevant to your lastes comic book wet dream.

The mililary needs some material that can be crop dusted onto road
beds that can only be disturbed by digging and not by vehicle traffic..
Ordinary traffic performs a certain amount of "gardening" on a dirt
road, meaning some of thetaggant_will_ be mixed into the roadbed
material. How deeply depends on the exact nature of the material (sand/
clay/organic dirt, salts, concrete, asphalt, etc.) the kind and degree
of traffic, the weather _and_ climate, and so on.
Worst case you get washboarding which requires periodic repair,
meaning deeper penetration by thetaggant. It will however be more
evenly distributed than the sort of localized dugskullery you're
talking about.
Hence the sort of disturbance due to traffic will be easily
differentiable from that due to digging.
The material must be deposited with a characteristic "thumbprint" that
can be identified with the appropriate sensors but cannot be
duplicated, i.e., it cannot be swept up and spread over a freshly
planted bomb.
This method wouldn't reveal the old bombs but it would make it easy to
spot where a roadbed was recently dug up.
Just off the top of my head, how about microscopic polymer chips
like those used in dynamite. Rather than the complex layering used to
indicate batch numbers etc. it would be infused infused with an
additive which, when exposed to UV, fluoresces in the IR, not the
visible. If laid down by ground vehicle or say Predator or other drone
during low traffic periods it would have a fairly even characteristic
distribution, and any disturbance will be immediately visible by
inspection by personnel wearing IR goggles during the day, and at
night with IR goggles and the assistance of a UV lamp. Inspection
could also be done by suitably-equipped drones of course.
Attempts to "sweep up" and use the dust to cover new bombs will not
replicate the dust distribution as laid down originally.

The BushCo quagmires were losers from the very beginning, the last
desperate attempt of the Repugliar Party to cling to power through
jingoism.
In fact Cheney and Bush both knew their quagmires were losers, Cheney
on a youtube video the corp. media wanted to low profile.
This does _not_ mean it is easy to get out of these quagmires and it
does _not_ mean we cannot save lives and money with new, relatively

What does that have to do with your harebrained idea? You know
nothing about how a laser is affected by the atmosphere. Also, if you
had read the web page for that link you would have seen that it is a
simple detector designed for SHORT DISTANCES, not thousands of miles.
There were no specifications as to sensitivity. It looks like a sensor
designed to detect levels or movements in industrial equipment at a few
feet. Years ago a high power laser was used to illuminate a spot on the
moon. By the time the beam reached the moon it had spread to about a one
mile diameter circle. Its reflection was barely detectable on earth.
BTW, 25 years ago there was a phrase when I built and maintained CATV
head ends: A 4 GHz TWT tube is worth <$1000 on the ground, and
Quote:
$1,000,000 in orbit. In other words, they hardware has to be space hardened, along with all the support hardware. Then you have to get it into orbit safely and still functioning. That multiples the cost by a factor of over 1000 to 1 when launched on a shared payload launch

You wouldn't understand my ideas, moron. Do you know ANYTHING about
low noise RF design? Low phase noise frequency synthesizers used to
detect weak, deep space telemetry? Do you have any clue as to the
problems caused by phase noise? How about telling everyone what you
have to do to reduce spurs in the output, or how to keep the output
constant to less than a dB across a full octave?
How about building a UHF TV station, starting from an empty
building? Have you ever done anything other than masturbate while
trolling?
Quote:

Sigh. Projecting, again? I worked in electronics for 44 years. I
served in the US Army as a broadcast engineer, owned an industrial
electronics repair business, then a computer store after I was no longer
able to clime a ladder. The last thing I did was work at Microdyne where
we built communications equipment for the aerospace industry. You
refuse to say what you do, or where you work, or have worked.
Quote:

Yawn. Yes, I am overweight. I spent two years confined to my bed
before the VA decided that I was diabetic, and had high blood pressure.
It took another six months before I was able to function again. The VA
declared me 100% disabled two weeks after I had to apply and stated that
I will never be able to work again.
I will still be overweight if I wake up tomorrow, but you'll still be
brain dead.
Quote:

More bullshit. There are days that I have to force myself to eat, due
to the side effects of all my medication for diabetes, Diabetic
neuropathy and high blood pressure. If I don't, my blood sugar drops
and I could die. I usually have little or no appetite, and the
medication has destroyed the taste of most food to the point I don't
even want to eat. My diet was approved by a VA dietitian, and is under
1800 calories a day including any snacks. I have to watch everything,
and prepare 99% of my meals at home. That is about half of the calories
it was when I was working, and spent hours on my feet every day. Now
that I need a cane to walk, I can only spend about an hour a day on my
feet without getting pressure sores on my lower legs. Just wait till
you get older and see what is waiting for you. Old age isn't for
sissies, and you'll probably suck on the end of a pistol to kill
yourself. I'm a tough old bastard who enjoys the battle, even on the
days the medication makes me vomit. I'm a couple years from retirement
now, and I don't have anything else to do, other than point out what a
useless loser you are to everyone. You can snip all the evidence that
you are wrong, but you can't remove my messages.
Quote:
Sigh. You posted a link to some advertising blurb with no
specifications. It is as worthless as all your harebrained ideas. It
was created for a press release in a trade journal, probably for plant
maintenance types. Mostly poorly educated types who are too stupid to
find something on the internet without the thousand pages a month of
advertising bullshit they get in the mail, every month. Before the
internet, they had the Tomcat catalogs which took up three or four feet
of shelf space full of lists of companies that listed their product
lines and phone numbers to request OEM catalogs.
