The transition from laminar (smooth, predictable flow) to turbulent (chaotic, randomly fluctuating flow) is currently not well understood, although empirical information allows us to estimate the ...

Grossmann, S. 2004 Statistical Mechanics of Turbulent Flow: Book Review. European Journal of Mechanics B/Fluids 23, 795–796. "To summarise, this is a monograph on the method of stochastic modelling of ...

There are two main types of fluid flow - laminar flow, in which the fluid flows smoothly in layers, and turbulent flow, which is characterised by chaotic motion and large amounts of mixing. In this ...

In acoustics, 'haystacking' describes the effect of turbulent flow scattering tonal sound fields, causing the energy of a specific tone to be spread across a wider range of frequencies.

When a fluid hits turbulent flow, large eddies of size R break down to smaller ones, and power is transferred from large to small scales according to a scaling law. This can be approximately seen ...

Now, a new analysis by physicists based in China and France suggests the artist had a deep, intuitive understanding of the mathematical structure of turbulent flow. As a common natural phenomenon ...
