Turbulence is everywhere, yet much about it is unknown. Now UC San Diego researchers Guru K. Jayasingh and @nigelgoldenfeld.bsky.social have published new work about how turbulence behaves around a curved pipe. bit.ly/4mwj1HP
Turbulence With a Twist
Turbulence is notoriously difficult to forecast. UC San Diego researchers have predicted that if a pipe is sufficiently curved, the transition can become discontinuous, with the turbulent fraction und...

Our latest results on the laminar-turbulent transition in pipes. Body forces acting in the fluid give a tricritical point once the body force is strong enough. Centrifugal force in a curved or helical pipe is an example. Bjorn Hof's experiments see these effects.
