A Clear Description of Turbulent Water
  • Photo of Björn Birnir

An international team of mathematicians, led by UCSB Professor Björn Birnir, has published a complete mathematical description of boundary layer turbulence. The paper, published in the journal Physical Review Research, synthesizes decades of work on the topic to provide a mathematical formula describing the turbulance caused when flow of water, air, or other fluids interacts with a boundary such as a pipe wall or the surface of the earth. Boundary layer interactions are important to many scientific and engineering fields, from meteorology to optimizing the aerodynamics of cars and aircraft.
