Recent advances in fluid mechanics have demonstrated that the use of polymer solutions and surfactants can effectively reduce drag in turbulent flows. This phenomenon, which facilitates a decrease in ...

A new study revisits a century-old question about how turbulence starts. The findings could potentially influence not only aircraft engineering but even the design of mechanical heart valves, and ...

The spatio-temporal evolution of wall-bounded turbulence is characterized by high nonlinearity, multi-scale dynamics, and ...

The irregular, swirling motion of fluids we call turbulence can be found everywhere, from stirring in a teacup to currents in the planetary atmosphere. This phenomenon is governed by the Navier-Stokes ...
