A long-standing controversy about whether the motions within a typical astrophysical disk of gas are stable or unstable has resurfaced. The answer has profound significance for our understanding of ...

Figure 1: Spatio-temporal dynamics in experiments of turbulent Couette flow and in DP. Experiments and numerical simulations followed the same procedure. First, a turbulent flow was initiated at ...

The Laplace transform is used to determine two forms of the exact solution for the unsteady, isothermal, one-dimensional plane Couette flow of an incompressible dipolar fluid set in motion by the ...

The effect of fluid motion on the excitation of bioluminescence was examined for cultured dinoflagellates and plankton samples subjected to steady state laminar shear associated with simple Couette ...

If one looks at many practical fluid flows, either around bodies (flow of air over an airplane wing) or through conduits, (flow through pipes), the problem of turbulence presents itself in almost ...
