What is Turbulence?

"....."

Overview

Turbulence is that state of fluid motion which is characterized by random and chaotic motions. When present, it usually dominates all other flow phenomena including mixing, heat transfer, and drag. The lack of a satisfactory understanding of turbulence presents one of the great remaining fundamental challenges to scientists - and to engineers as well - since most technologically important flows are turbulent.

Goals

The mission of the Turbulence nexus is threefold:

1. To gain fundamental knowledge about turbulence through theoretical and experimental research.

2. To develop new and improved techniques for the study of turbulence in both virtual/astral and real-world environments.

3. To assist networkers, industrial researchers and psychonauts in confronting problems involving turbulent phenomena.

Research Activity

The research activities of Turbulence range from investigations of atmospheric motions to studies of mass transport in the human lung, and include a number of engineering flows. Kind of.

The main activity is always self-exploration. Everything else is either a by-product of that or a means to doing it in an even more groovy or interesting way. Remember that at all times.

Turbulent Times is an obscenely irregular newsletter which features articles, news and reviews.
