Episode Synopsis

In Richard Feynman's words, turbulence is ‘the most important unsolved problem of classical physics’ with  seemingly too many mathematical descriptions – each valid, more or less, under a series of restrictive conditions.The research of Professor Fabio Gori and Dr Andrea Boghi from the University of Rome Tor Vergata  into turbulence in solutions is revealing new insights about molecular diffusion rates and correlation rules, with impacts ranging from plastic production to solar power – and even our understanding of the movement of energy from the core of the earth itself.Read their original research at: https://doi.org/10.1115/1.4002743
