Fluid dynamics: Turbulence lost in transience
Daniel Perry Lathrop1
Abstract
Turbulence is generally regarded as a permanent feature of many fluid flows. That assumption is challenged by the claim that shear turbulence has a limited lifetime — albeit sometimes a very long one.
Turbulence is not a trivial problem. It influences all manner of physical effects — aerodynamic drag, cooling and heating, to name just a few.
