Trajectories in time traced out by turbulent puffs as they move along a simulated pipe and in experiments, with blue regions indicate the puff "traffic jams." The images on the left are closer to the ...

Recent advances in flow dynamics and turbulence transition have significantly deepened our understanding of how laminar flows evolve into complex, chaotic turbulent regimes. While the phenomenon ...

The study of nonequilibrium phase transitions encompasses the investigation of abrupt changes in a system’s collective behaviour when driven far from thermal equilibrium. Unlike classical equilibrium ...

Turbulence is everywhere, yet much about the nature of turbulence remains unknown. During the last decade, physicists have discovered how fluids in a pipe or similar geometry transition from a smooth, ...
