 Turbulence in dilute polymer solutions away from solid boundaries

Carlos da Silva - Instituto Superior Técnico - Lisbonne

Turbulence in dilute polymer solutions away from solid boundaries

Jeudi 22 janvier 2026 - 11h, Amphi 1bis, bât. W1, ECL

It is well known that when minute amounts of polymer are added into a Newtonian fluid the resulting fluid solution displays stark differences compared to a Newtonian fluid. One particularly (...)

 One Cascade, Many Scales: A Unified Model of Low-Frequency Plasma Turbulence

Vincent David (Dartmouth College)

One Cascade, Many Scales: A Unified Model of Low-Frequency Plasma Turbulence

Reporté

A central problem in space and astrophysical plasmas is to understand how a weakly collisional medium is heated by turbulence. In such systems, the cascade is not free to develop in the manner (...)

Experimental surface waves : turbulence, shock waves and interaction with a hydrofoil

Jeudi 8 janvier 2026, 11h, Amphi 3, bât. W1, ECL

Wave dynamics at the surface of the ocean are a key phenomenon to understand the exchanges between the ocean and the atmosphere. However, many wave phenomena are still far from being fully (...)

Coupled oscillations, microstreaming, and other bubble-related phenomena

Jeudi 5 Février 2026 - ECL (amphi 3, bât. W1)

Acoustic bubbles are known to allow a contactless and localized action on surrounding bodies, through a direct push-pull action or by the softer effect of microstreaming it generates in its (...)
