Turbulence as Information
W. I. Goldburg, R. T. Cerbus
A message of any sort can be regarded as a source of information. Claude. E. Shannon showed in the last century that information ("what we don't already know") is equivalent to the…
Predicting 2D Turbulence
Rory Cerbus, Walter Goldburg
Prediction is a fundamental objective of science. It is more difficult for chaotic and complex systems like turbulence. Here we use information theory to quantify spatial predictio…
Time-Evolution of a Fractal Distribution: Particle Concentrations in Free-Surface Turbulence
Jason Larkin, Walter Goldburg, M. M. Bandi
Steady-state turbulence is generated in a tank of water and the trajectories of particles forming a compressible system on the surface are tracked in time. The initial uniformly di…
Decorrelating a compressible turbulent flow: an experiment
Jason Larkin, Walter I. Goldburg
Floating particles that are initially distributed uniformly on the surface of a turbulent fluid, subsequently coagulate, until finally a steady state is reached. This being so, the…
Direct Measurement of Turbulent Shear
Stefanus Stefanus, Stanley Steers, Walter Goldburg
A photon correlation method is introduced for measuring components of the shear rate tensor in a turbulent soap film. This new scheme, which is also applicable to three-dimensional…
Macroscopic effects of the spectral structure in turbulent flows
Tuan Tran, Pinaki Chakraborty, Nicholas Guttenberg +5
Two aspects of turbulent flows have been the subject of extensive, split research efforts: macroscopic properties, such as the frictional drag experienced by a flow past a wall, an…
