Studies of Shear Flow Instabilities

这项研究包括一个理论研究计划， 大尺度结构和剪切流不稳定性的问题。 目的是获得物理洞察力的情况下， 大规模的结构和不稳定性在 剪切流发展 这种组织结构，除了 是湍流剪切流的基础，对于 了解喷气噪声，燃烧室效率，并自然 大气和海洋中的混合过程。

This research consists of a program of theoretical investigations into problems in the large-scale structure and instabilities in shear flow. The object is to gain physical insight into situations where the large-scale structure and instabilities play the essential role in shear flow development. Such organized structures, in addition to being fundamental in turbulent shear flows, are important to the understanding of jet noise, combustor efficiency, and to the natural mixing processes in the atmosphere and ocean.
