Convective motions driven by core cooling have a structure that is three-dimensional and time-dependent. Consequently, the dynamics of the interaction between this flow and an underlying dense layer ...

Air–sea interaction and turbulent boundary layers lie at the heart of exchanges between the atmosphere and the ocean. This field examines the momentum, heat, and scalar transfers across the air–sea ...

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 ...

If there are no shear stresses present, there is no fluid deformation, and the behavior of a fluid is described by the bulk modulus relating the pressure and the compression strain. In the presence of ...
