Nature does not allow us to increase the size of a system without eventually losing coherence. For example, although a coherent laminar flow through a pipe is always linearly stable, increasing the ...

Turbulence is one of the great mysteries of modern science. It is also one of the most important, as most of the flows we're interested in are turbulent. In some applications, such as industrial ...

While the video above may look like an optical illusion, it is actually reducible to the very basics of physics. Aptly named after laminae (thin layers or plates), a laminar flow occurs when the ...
