While atmospheric turbulence is a familiar culprit of rough flights, the chaotic movement of turbulent flows remains an unsolved problem in physics. To gain insight into the system, a team of ...
A sneeze. Ocean currents. Smoke. What do these have in common? They're instances of turbulence: unpredictable, chaotic, uneven fluid flows of fluctuating velocity and pressure. Though ubiquitous in ...
Researchers at the University of Pittsburgh and the University of Turin have forced turbulent energy to flow in the wrong direction, reversing a pattern that physicists have treated as settled science ...
