[Topic areas] Smart grid energy Granular materials--A descrete state of matter Turbulence and mixing in nature Nonlinear science (chaos, nonlinear dynamics) [Example talk] Nonlinear Dynamics: Chaos and Patterns to Turbulence and Mixing Nonlinearity in science is ubiquitous, influencing everything from population dynamics and the patterns of clouds or sand dunes to the nature of fluid turbulence. Turbulence has a distinct meaning when applied to the highly fluctuating motion of a fluid. Examples include the swirling water in river rapids, the motion of air past a moving car, and the billowing clouds of an impending thunderstorm on a summer afternoon. An understanding of fluid turbulence and its application in the real world is critical to airplane flight, car fuel economy, urban air pollution and even predicting future global climate evolution.
