Ep. 21 - Turbulence & Fluid Dynamics ft. Austin L'Ecuyer

<p>Our guest this week is Mechanical Engineering Master's candidate <strong>Austin L'Ecuyer</strong>. His current research is primarily focused on Turbulent Systems, falling under the broader category of Fluid Dynamics. On today's episode we discuss the theoretical underpinnings as well as the applications of turbulence in natural and artifical systems. It was a real treat having Austin on the show: I'm sure you'll feel the same!</p> <p>If you or someone you know is a graduate student and interested in sharing your knowledge and current research projects on the podcast, please reach out and connect with us at <strong>abstractcast@gmail.com</strong>! We're always looking for well-spoken and enthusiastic graduatie students to hop on the show! (Austin is the perfect example of this.)<br> <br> For those of you who are curious about the "nitty gritty", we come across such concepts as:<br> Order of Magnitude<br> The Atmospheric Boundary Layer<br> Laminar vs. Turbulent Flows<br> Chaos and Randomness<br> Kolmogorov Scales (of Turbulence)<br> Viscosity<br> Energy Cascades<br> The Navier Stokes Equations<br> &amp; Hot Wire Anemometry</p> --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/abstractcast/message
