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 ...

Using HLRS’s Hawk supercomputer, University of Stuttgart scientists have for the first time produced high-resolution simulation data characterizing the transition from low to high Reynolds numbers in ...

Turbulent Flow and Boundary Layer Theory: Selected Topics and Solved Problems explains fundamental concepts of turbulent flow with boundary layer analysis. A general introduction to turbulent flow ...

Since at least the 1920s, scientists have been puzzled by the turbulence that arises when a liquid hits a wall. For instance, what happens when water violently sloshes against the side of a pool or ...

The boundary layer in high Reynolds number flows is a thin region adjacent to solid surfaces where viscous forces and shear dominate despite the overwhelming inertia of the external stream. At ...

The atmospheric boundary layer (ABL) is the part of the lower troposphere that interacts directly with the earth's surface through turbulent transport processes. A coast separates two drastically ...

It’s long been accepted that the smoother the surface, the lower the aerodynamic drag. That turns out not always to be the case.
