Scientists have uncovered evidence of classic turbulence occurring within swarms of rising gas bubbles. An international team of scientists from the (HZDR), Johns Hopkins University, and Duke Universi ...

From blood spurting through hearts to winds buffeting cars, fluids swirl and tumble in complex ways that scientists struggle to understand. Now, a new means to efficiently depict fluid turbulence and ...

The researchers' experiment featured transparent walls to allow full visual access, and used a state-of-the-art flow visualization. Credit: Photo: Michael Schatz Turbulence plays a key role in our ...

Researchers at Finland's Aalto University have found a way to use magnets to line up bacteria as they swim. The approach offers more than just a way to nudge bacteria into order—it also provides a ...

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 ...

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 ...

Turbulence is generally regarded as a permanent feature of many fluid flows. That assumption is challenged by the claim that shear turbulence has a limited lifetime — albeit sometimes a very long one.

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 one of the least understood phenomena of the physical world. Long considered too hard to understand and predict mathematically, turbulence is the reason the Navier-Stokes equations, ...

Physicists have proven -- numerically and experimentally -- that turbulence in fluid flows can be understood and quantified with the help of a small set of special solutions that can be precomputed ...
