Brownian Motion
Have you ever noticed how motes of dust seem to dance around even in still air? The reason they do is because all the atoms and molecules in the air Keep reading
Super-Highway Convection
In the ocean, many forces compete in driving convection, including the temperature and salinity of the water. In the laboratory, it’s possible to mimic these characteristics of oceanic circulation using Keep reading
Sea Surface Temperatures
This video shows sea surface temperature results and their seasonal variation from a numerical simulation modeling circulation in the atmosphere and oceans. Modeling such enormous problems requires the development of reasonable Keep reading
Thermal Convection
This video turbulent convection in a vertical channel. Buoyancy and the density variations caused by small differences in temperature are what drive the behavior.
