Nonlinear Laboratory
Our Nonlinear Dynamics Laboratory is
dedicated to studying turbulence using both novel experiments and
theory. Our focus is on how turubulence is modified by rotation,
magnetic fields, and quantum effects. As turbulence occurs across
nature (in planets, in stars, in galaxies and in theories of the
vacuum), our work has extemely broad implications.
Spotlight
After obtaining significant new scientific results with water, the 3 Meter Experiment was successfully filled with sodium. We are currently looking for a self-sustained dynamo and other MHD effects.
