Turbulent Fluids: New Stochastic Models for the Analysis of Heat Transfer Turbulent Fluids: New Stochastic Models for the Analysis of Heat Transfer
Turbulent fluids play an important role in many natural and engineering processes. For a better understanding of heat transfer in these systems, the Emmy Noether Group at the Max Planck Institute for Mathematics in the Sciences in Leipzig is developing stochastic models to investigate the role of noise in convection.
