While atmospheric turbulence is a familiar culprit of rough flights, the chaotic movement of turbulent flows remains an unsolved problem in physics. To gain insight into the system, a team of ...

The irregular, swirling motion of fluids we call turbulence can be found everywhere, from stirring in a teacup to currents in ...

Going with the flow: does an extra term lead to a better model of turbulence? (Courtesy: iStock/Mumemories) Identifying universal laws within fluid mechanics is notoriously difficult. So it has come ...

This visualization shows moderately large pressure fluctuations within a 35-trillion-grid-point turbulence simulation, ...

Turbulent Flow and Boundary Layer Theory: Selected Topics and Solved Problems explains fundamental concepts of turbulent flow with boundary layer analysis. A general introduction to turbulent flow ...

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 ...

Fluids play a crucial role in industrial processes like cooling, heating, and mixing. Traditionally, most industries would utilize Newtonian fluids—which have a constant viscosity—for such processes.

People with mechanical heart valves need blood thinners on a daily basis, because they have a higher risk of blood clots and stroke. With the help of the Piz Daint supercomputer, researchers at the ...

Tests of a proposed friction-factor equation have shown it to be accurate for calculating pressure loss in turbulent flow for a pipeline transporting a non-Newtonian fluid, such as most crude oils and ...
