Structural transitions in turbulent fluids and plasma through self-organization

对湍流系统中结构转变的研究将使澳大利亚在自组织和湍流控制领域对复杂系统科学的贡献大大受益。应用范围从了解地球大气光谱的形成到在磁约束等离子体中产生传输势垒，以及在工程上开发新的湍流控制方法。作者最近的发现为现代科学的这一基础领域的突破打开了一扇机会之窗。该项目基于几个国家和国际合作。澳大利亚研究生和研究培训是该项目不可或缺的一部分。

Studies into structural transitions in turbulent systems will greatly benefit Australia through its contributions to the science of complex systems, in the areas of self-organization and turbulence control. Applications range from understanding the formation of the Earth's atmospheric spectrum to generation of transport barriers in magnetically confined plasma, as well as development of novel methods of turbulence control in engineering. Recent discoveries by the authors open a window of opportunity for a breakthrough in this fundamental field of modern science. The project is based on several national and international collaborations. Australian postgraduate and research training is an integral part of the project.
