Scaling in Turbulence and Turbulent Mixing

Oct 02, 2008

A team led by P.K. Yeung of Georgia Tech is investigating fundamental problems of dispersion in turbulent fluid flow, which plays a crucial role in pollutant transport in both atmospheric and oceanic environments. These numerical simulations allow researchers to track the motions of large numbers of infinitesimally small particles in fluids and closely examine their movement away from one another under the influence of differing lengths and timescales.
