FY2019 Annual Report
Shocks, Solitons and Turbulence Unit
Associate Professor Emile Touber
Abstract
The Shocks, Solitons and Turbulence (S2T) Unit carries theoretical and computational studies of energy transfers and transport arising from shock/solitary waves and turbulence. We work on a variety of problems (from cosmic to biological scales) expressed in terms of (i) fields obeying some form of conservation laws, (ii) closed using physics-based or simple behavioral arguments, (iii) and found in a turbulent and/or shocked regime. Our current activities are articulated around three main themes: complex fluids, active fluids, analogous fluids.
