A sneeze. Ocean currents. Smoke. What do these have in common? They're instances of turbulence: unpredictable, chaotic, ...

“In particular, we get insights into Lagrangian turbulence,” said Birnir, referencing the theory that describes turbulent behavior in a reference fame that moves with the flow, like a raft on a river.

Discover the fundamental concepts of laminar and turbulent flow, which are crucial in understanding fluid dynamics. These two types of flow define how liquids and gases move in various systems, ...

Combining spectral proper orthogonal decomposition and phase-averaging techniques provides methods for delineating ...

In a BFS flow, turbulence results in a separated shear layer, which is highly unstable due to the hydrodynamic instabilities. These instabilities generate turbulent eddies, ...

The meandering motion emerges at higher Wi, enhancing turbulence and heat transfer in the backward-facing step flow. Credit: Dr. Shumpei Hara / Doshisha University, Japan ...

Such a blood flow without turbulence would significantly reduce the chance of clot formation and stroke. Life without blood thinners? More than 100,000 people per year receive a mechanical heart valve ...

In addition to the Kolmogorov-esque turbulent structures that van Gogh depicts in “The Starry Night,” there is another aspect of turbulence represented in the painting, the new study finds.

Blood flow in the human body is assumed to be mostly smooth and non-turbulent. Unstable and unsteady flow is linked to a variety of cardiovascular diseases including arteriosclerosis -- one of the ...
