Scientists at the University of Chicago made a special 'ball' of turbulence. This is a new way to study how fluids move, much clearer than before. It helps understand complex things like weather.

From smooth liquid sheets to chaotic crowns, increasing impact speed transforms droplet splashing.
This work links that transition to Reynolds number and uncovers how instabilities shape droplet size and velocity.

An Article in the Annual Review of Condensed Matter Physics on Turbulence by KR Sreenivasan and J Schumacher
https://www.annualreviews.org/content/journals/10.1146/annurev-conmatphys-031620-095842What is the turbulence problem, and when can we say it’s solved? 🌪️ This deep dive by Sreenivasan & Schumacher explores the math, physics, and engineering challenges of turbulence—from Navier-Stokes equations to intermittency and beyond. A must-read for anyone fascinated by chaos, complexity, and the unsolved mysteries of fluid dynamics! 🌀
A summary of the talk presented by KR Sreenivasan in December 2023 at the International Center for Theoretical Sciences (ICTS-TIFR) in Bengaluru, as part of a program on field theory and turbulence.

Dear fellow physics teachers (especially of continuum-mechanics-related disciplines): do you have any suggestions, thoughts, personal experiences, and references about nice *graphical representations* of the flux of a vector quantity – for instance momentum flux (in momentum transport)?
Cheers!

I'm new to Mastodon, so here's my #introduction!
I'm Sophie (she/her), a 1st-year PhD student at #Stanford in the Civil & Environmental Engineering Department. I'm working on #flume experiments to investigate the effect of stress history on erodible beds. I'm broadly interested in #Geomorphology #Rivers #Sediment #SedimentTransport and #FluidMechanics 🏞️ 🌊
I'm originally from #Philly (#GoBirds 🦅 ), but now I enjoy #hiking #backpacking and #exploring the Bay Area!
