On December 1, 2009 Bruce Boghosian (Tufts University) will be delivering a lecture entitled “The Dynamical Systems Approach to Turbulence - Challenges for High-Performance Computing “.

Location: 2231 French Family Science Center

Time: 4:30pm

Abstract: Turbulence is sometimes call the “last unsolved problem of classical mechanics”. While it has long been understood that the details of turbulent flow are essentially unpredictable beyond a number of Lyapunov times due to the so-called “Butterfly effect”, hope remains for a comprehensive statistical description of turbulence. … read the rest »
