Yeah, tribology engineers don't care about turbulence either. It must be nice to work in fluid mechanics and not care about inertia at all. Nice linear equations... Well, certainly assumptions of ...

In physics, the Fine Structure Constant is one the strangest numbers. The Fine Structure Constant is one the strangest numbers in all of physics. It’s the job of physicists to worry about numbers, but ...

Add Yahoo as a preferred source to see more of our stories on Google. Jupiter's red spot, a massive storm system, is an example of turbulent flow. Scientists have made a leap forward in understanding ...

(via Sabine Hossenfelder) In today’s video, I have a brief rundown of my 10 favorite physics paradoxes and big problems. If you have trouble sleeping at night, this will give you something to think ...

CHAMPAIGN, Ill. -- Put a cutting board in the bottom of your kitchen sink and turn on the faucet. You should see a thin film of water in the rough circle that makes up the middle, a band of roiling, ...

Scientists have made a leap forward in understanding the pattern and structure of turbulence — a natural phenomenon observed in fluids such as moving water, ocean currents, chemical reactions, blood ...

With regard to fusion, we really have no choice other than to build the machine and run the experiments directly. Also, turbulent instabilities are only a fraction of the physics necessary to model a ...
