Yeah, tribology engineers don't care about turbulence either. It must be nice to work in fluid mechanics and not care about inertia at all. Nice linear equations... Well, certainly assumptions of ...

(Phys.org) —The American Nobel Prize Laureate for Physics Richard Feynman once described turbulence as "the most important unsolved problem of classical physics", because a description of the ...

There are certain moments in history that everyone remembers what it is they were doing when they heard about the event. (Phys.org) —The American Nobel Prize Laureate for Physics Richard Feynman once ...

CHAMPAIGN, Ill. -- Put a cutting board in the bottom of your kitchen sink and turn on the faucet. You should see a thin film of water in the rough circle that makes up the middle, a band of roiling, ...

(via PBS Space Time) The Fine Structure Constant is one the strangest numbers in all of physics. It’s the job of physicists to worry about numbers, but there’s one number that physicists have stressed ...

A new modeling technique may finally help scientists understand the chaotic phenomenon of turbulence which has escaped them for centuries. The natural phenomenon of turbulence has captivated the ...

With regard to fusion, we really have no choice other than to build the machine and run the experiments directly. Also, turbulent instabilities are only a fraction of the physics necessary to model a ...
