A new study suggests Vincent van Gogh showed a deep, intuitive understanding of the mathematical structure of turbulence in his painting “The Starry Night.” ...

The painter's creations during his blue period mirrored nature's turbulent flows, as if his mind somehow tapped into a universal archetype, says astrophysicist Marcelo Gleiser.

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 ...

Nature - A turbulent historyThe continuing fascination of hydrodynamics — or its modern, more inclusive offspring fluid dynamics — is due to the fact that many phenomena (such as turbulent ...

This year is going to test the management skills of many farmers around the country, with cash-flow potentially a big problem during these turbulent times.
