Stabilization of Hydrodynamic Flows by Small Viscosity Variations
Rama Govindarajan, Victor S. L'vov, Itamar Procaccia
Motivated by the large effect of turbulent drag reduction by minute concentrations of polymers we study the effects of a weakly space-dependent viscosity on the stability of hydrod…

Universal behaviour of entrainment due to coherent structures in turbulent shear flow
Rama Govindarajan
I suggest a solution to a persistent mystery in the physics of turbulent shear flows: cumulus clouds rise to towering heights, practically without entraining the ambient medium, wh…
