Turbulence makes many people uneasy or downright queasy. And it’s given researchers a headache, too. Mathematicians have been trying for a century or more to understand the turbulence that arises when ...

New experiments confirm a decades-old theory of turbulence, revealing how air behaves at extreme speeds and shaping the ...

Turbulence makes many people uneasy or downright queasy. And it's given researchers a headache, too. Mathematicians have been trying for a century or more to understand the turbulence that arises when ...

Shock wave and turbulent boundary layer interactions are phenomena encountered in high-speed flows, where abrupt pressure changes associated with shock waves impinge upon the viscous layer of fluid ...

Abstract: I shall discuss two programs of research that have occupied much of my time and the time of two PhD students with whom I am working: Samantha Sheppard and Jarred Kenworthy. Jarred and ...

Boundary layer transition and turbulence modelling represent central challenges in fluid dynamics, with profound implications for the design and performance of aerospace, automotive, and energy ...

In an experiment on how turbulent boundary layers respond to acceleration in the flow around them, aerospace engineers at the observed an unexpected internal boundary layer. In an experiment on how ...

An account is given of the statistical structure of turbulence in the natural wind near the ground (i.e. below about 100 m in height). Wind data measured at a single point are briefly reviewed, ...

Journal of Coastal Research, Special Issue 64: PROCEEDINGS OF THE 11th INTERNATIONAL COASTAL SYMPOSIUM ICS2011 (2011), pp. 1091-1094 (4 pages) The hydrodynamic and water quality modelling of the ...

The boundary layer, a tiny layer on the surface of a body in a flowing fluid, such as an airplane wing in the air, is of paramount importance for the future of flight. Just over 100 years ago, Ludwig ...
