Abstract: I shall discuss two programs of research that have occupied much of my time and the time of two PhD students with whom I am working: Samantha Sheppard and Jarred Kenworthy. Jarred and ...
Heinz, S. 2003 Statistical Mechanics of Turbulent Flows. Springer-Verlag, Berlin, Heidelberg, New York, Tokyo (ISBN: 3-540-40103-2). The simulation of turbulent reacting flows, connected with ...
Turbulence, famously described by Richard Feynman as “the last unsolved problem of classical physics”, pervades almost all natural and engineering flows. The century-old challenge of turbulence ...
As countries around the world seek to reduce their carbon emissions, what if there were a way they could generate significantly more power from one of the fastest-growing sources of renewable energy, ...
From testing race cars to designing skyscrapers, wind tunnels remain essential for understanding and optimizing aerodynamics. By simulating controlled airflow, they help engineers refine shapes, ...
Rare polar spectacle: NASA’s Landsat 8 recorded rare von Kármán vortex streets over Antarctica’s Peter I Island, shaped by strong circumpolar winds. Scientific significance: These formations help ...
A team of physicists has discovered a new role for a specific type of turbulence -- a finding that sheds light on fluid flows ranging from the Earth's liquid core to boiling water. A team of ...
