How “Odd Viscosity” Transforms Turbulent Chaos Into Patterns
A recent study reveals that “odd viscosity,” a unique property where fluid particles spin uniformly, can cause regular patterns to emerge from the chaotic motion of turbulent fluids, such as those seen in a tumbling river or jet engine outflow. This discovery highlights the potential of controlling turbulence and has implications for natural phenomena like the solar corona and solar wind.
