Recent advances in flow dynamics and turbulence transition have significantly deepened our understanding of how laminar flows evolve into complex, chaotic turbulent regimes. While the phenomenon ...

From the smooth, orderly layers of laminar motion to the chaotic swirls of turbulence, understanding fluid flow is key to engineering success. The Reynolds number, continuity equation, and insights ...

The irregular, swirling motion of fluids we call turbulence can be found everywhere, from stirring in a teacup to currents in the planetary atmosphere. This phenomenon is governed by the Navier-Stokes ...

Researchers have shown how energy disappears in quantum turbulence, paving the way for a better understanding of turbulence in scales ranging from the microscopic to the planetary. The team's findings ...

Turbulence is one of the great mysteries of modern science. It is also one of the most important, as most of the flows we’re interested in are turbulent. In some applications, such as industrial ...

Turbulence makes many people uneasy or downright queasy. And it’s given researchers a headache, too. Mathematicians have been trying for a century or more to understand the turbulence that arises when ...

Quantum-inspired “tensor networks” can simulate the behaviour of turbulent fluids in just a few hours rather than the several days required for a classical algorithm. The new technique, developed by ...

One of the first things most people do in the morning is turn on a tap in the bathroom. Provided we are not too sleepy, we cannot fail to notice what is often considered to be the greatest unsolved ...

Making science for people is a series that explores how humanities, arts and social sciences expertise is applied to problems typically corralled into the science and technology space. The first piece ...

Introduction Have you ever seen a wind turbine? Wind turbines are large towers with blades on top that are spun by the wind. They are one source of clean, renewable energy. They use the movement from ...
