There are several books in the extensive and varied literature on Turbulence that deal, in statistical terms and in the context of fluid dynamics, with the phenomenon itself, as well as its many ...

Turbulence is the irregular, three-dimensional motion of fluids characterised by vortices of varying size, rapid fluctuations in velocity and pressure, and enhanced mixing. Despite the fundamental ...

Anomalous scaling in turbulent fluid dynamics refers to the observed deviations from classical scaling laws, such as those predicted by Kolmogorov’s 1941 theory. In turbulent flows, energy cascades ...

Vortex dynamics simulations reveal reconnection, an important property linked with creation of turbulence cascade, fluid mixing, and aerodynamic noise generation. Turbulent pipe flow simulated at high ...

Abstract: We explore the potential for new reduced basis representations within current state-of-the-art Large-Eddy Simulation (LES) frameworks to more accurately predict key resolved-scale dynamics ...

It's long been accepted that the smoother the surface, the lower the aerodynamic drag. That turns out not always to be the ...

Using unconventional statistical mechanics to understand fluid dynamics, a professor helped solve a 150 year old physics problem of how turbulent fluids move through a pipe. In 1883 Osborne Reynolds ...

Our research efforts in Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) include high performance computing for compressible and incompressible flows, development of finite volume schemes for hybrid and generalized ...

Turbulence, the splintering of smooth streams of fluid into chaotic vortices, doesn’t just make for bumpy plane rides. It also throws a wrench into the very mathematics used to describe atmospheres, ...

Turbulence is everywhere—it rattles our planes and makes tiny whirlpools in our bathtubs—but it is one of the least understood phenomena in classical physics. Turbulence occurs when an ordered fluid ...

Having solved a central mystery about the “twirliness” of tornadoes and other types of vortices, William Irvine has set his sights on turbulence, the white whale of classical physics. It’s time to ...
