This paper reviews the ideas about why wall turbulence is self-sustaining. The paper is to
distribute this information to fluid dynamists who are nonspecialists in turbulence. The …

The brain is a dynamic system that is non-linear at multiple levels of analysis.
Characterization of its non-linear dynamics is fundamental to our understanding of brain …

Turbulence pervades our world, from weather patterns to the air entering our lungs. This
book describes methods that reveal its structures and dynamics. Building on the existence of …

In this work, we present from first principles a direct numerical simulation DNS of a fully
turbulent channel flow of a dilute polymer solution. The polymer chains are modeled as …

An immersed boundary technique is used to model a riblet covered surface on one wall of a
channel bounding fully developed turbulent flow. The conjecture that the beneficial drag …

Pharmacovigilance is, in essence, the process of monitoring the everyday use of medicines
to identify previously unrecognized adverse drug reactions thereby assessing their …

Turbulent flow in a rectangular channel is investigated to determine the scale and pattern of
the eddies that contribute most to the total turbulent kinetic energy and the Reynolds shear …

Using a data base generated by a numerical simulation, the three-dimensional coherent
structures of a transitional, spatially evolving boundary layer are determined and their spatio …

In many situations involving flows of high Reynolds number (where inertial forces dominate
over viscous forces), such as aircraft flight and the pipeline transportation of fuels, turbulent …

Empirical orthogonal function (EOF) analysis has been widely used in meteorology and
oceanography to extract dominant modes of behavior in scalar and vector datasets. For …
