The boundary layer in rotating systems arises where a solid body interacts with a fluid in rotational motion. Under rotation, the interplay of viscous shear, centrifugal forces and Coriolis effects ...

Turbulence makes many people uneasy or downright queasy. And it's given researchers a headache, too. Mathematicians have been trying for a century or more to understand the turbulence that arises when ...

Turbulence in boundary layer flows governs a vast array of natural and engineered systems, from atmospheric weather patterns to the performance of aircraft, wind turbines and marine vessels. Within ...

In an experiment on how turbulent boundary layers respond to acceleration in the flow around them, aerospace engineers at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign observed an unexpected internal ...
