The overarching objective of the UK Turbulence Consortium (UKTC) is to facilitate world-class turbulence research using national High-End Computing (HEC) resources.
However, that consists of four phases, namely: Foundation Phase (716-746 CE), Expansion and Consolidation Phase (746-827 CE), New Direction and Eastward Expansion Phase (828-885 CE), and Political Turbulence (885-898 CE).
A whole class of turbulence, representing 40% of turbulence accidents, and designated as Clear Air Turbulence, cannot be detected by any existing airborne equipment, including state-of-the-art weather radar; this explains why the number of turbulence accidents has been growing by a factor of 5 since 1980, 3 times faster than the increase of the air traffic.
Turbulence, and the processes that drive it, play significant roles in stratified fluids such as Earth’s atmosphere, oceans, and lakes, and similar fluids exhibiting high ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ number dynamics on other planets and in stellar interiors.
UKTC - The UK Turbulence Consortium Understanding, predicting and controlling turbulent flows is of central importance and a limiting factor to a vast range of industries: naval, aeronautical, automotive, power generation, process, pharmaceutical, meteorological and environmental.
Turbulence, and its influences in geophysical systems, remains one of the “Grand Challenges” in physics and in understanding our environment.
The objective of the DELICAT project was to validate the concept of Clear Air Turbulence detection at medium range (10 km to 30 km), using a UV Lidar.
Sugama (NIFS) visited Mediterranean Institute for Advanced Research (IMéRA, Marseille, France) from 1 to 8, June, 2013 to give an invited talk titled "Transport Processes and Entropy Balance in Toroidal Plasmas" at the Workshop on "Turbulence, Transport, and Structures in Magnetized Plasmas".
The purpose of this Annex is for Raytheon and NASA to enter into a mutually beneficial partnership to further basic research advancements in the area of hypersonic boundary- layer transition, and to support key design decisions for the Boundary Layer Transition (BOLT) and Boundary Layer Turbulence Flight II (BOLT2) flight assessment experiment.
