There are several books in the extensive and varied literature on Turbulence that deal, in statistical terms and in the context of fluid dynamics, with the phenomenon itself, as well as its many ...

Flapping and soaring: The tips of pelicans' wings turn down when they fly near the surface of water. Aerodynamics experts are trying to understand why. (Courtesy: iStock/Aschen) For human-built ...

Anomalous scaling in turbulent fluid dynamics refers to the observed deviations from classical scaling laws, such as those predicted by Kolmogorov’s 1941 theory. In turbulent flows, energy cascades ...

Abstract: We explore the potential for new reduced basis representations within current state-of-the-art Large-Eddy Simulation (LES) frameworks to more accurately predict key resolved-scale dynamics ...

Physicists have proven -- numerically and experimentally -- that turbulence in fluid flows can be understood and quantified with the help of a small set of special solutions that can be precomputed ...

Our research efforts in Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) include high performance computing for compressible and incompressible flows, development of finite volume schemes for hybrid and generalized ...

Turbulence, the splintering of smooth streams of fluid into chaotic vortices, doesn’t just make for bumpy plane rides. It also throws a wrench into the very mathematics used to describe atmospheres, ...

Feeding black holes develop a fractal skin as they grow. That’s the conclusion of simulations that take advantage of a correlation between fluid dynamics and gravity. “We showed that when you throw ...

Dolphins are famous for their speed and agility in the water, but what exactly allows them to swim so effectively? Scientists ...
