Abstract:from the first principles of mechanics and the formalism of a continuous field characterized by density and viscosity.Thus, the complete absence of a comprehensive theory that can convincingly deal with disordered flows may come to many as a surprise. The crux of the matter, obviously, is the strong non-linear character of the advection terms in the equations of motion. Under certain conditions-in particular, high Reynolds numbers-fluid flows become unstable, growing rapidly to a complicated and confused state… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
