Transport and settling of suspended particles in a simulated estuary: particle-laden freshwater enters a basin filled with seawater. The white iso-surface indicates 50% of the original particle density. Kelvin-Helmholtz instabilities evolve in the shear flow and drive the turbulent mixing. Rayleigh–Taylor instabilities can be observed in the initial settling phase. Based on Direct #Numerical #Simulation.

Another one from the archive: turbulent mixing of sediment-laden freshwater and seawater (black). The white iso-surface indicates a 50/50 mix. The freshwater enters the basin at the bottom left. Direct #Numerical #Simulation.

Smoke Bomb
With a flurry of motion along its pectoral fin, a sting ray lifts the sand nearby and disappears into the turbid cloud. This tactic helps the animal both hide and escape. In a similar move, sting rays and other bottom-dwelling fish can bury themselves in sand.(Image credit: Y. Coll/OPOTY; via Colossal)

“Vorticity 6”
It’s time for another storm-chasing timelapse from photographer Mike Olbinski! “Vorticity 6” focuses on supercell thunderstorms and their tornadoes. There’s billowing turbulent convection, undulating asperitas, bulging mammatus, microbursts, and more. There’s nothing like timelapse to highlight the growth, rotation, and shear involved in these storms. (Video and image credit: M. Olbinski)

Imagine being a brilliant physicist/mathematician and still avoiding the most important problems because your career depends on publishing frequent papers, not solving the biggest mysteries in the world.
That's why you can't do things like this in academia.
