Turbulent Flow In Fluid Dynamics Science Behind It
One of the most remarkable aspects of the human brain is its ability
to recognize patterns and describe them among the hardest patterns
we’ve tried to understand is the concept of turbulent flow in fluid
dynamics.
It took 125 years before someone noticed this Turbulence has long been one of the most difficult subjects to understand mathematically. Turbulence is a concept of fluid dynamics that is characterized by chaotic property changes. Most of us are familiar with turbulence when flying. This happens when a mass of air moving at one speed meets another mass of air moving at another speed. Take this concept and apply it other things, and you have a rough understanding of turbulence.
It turns out that while scientists have focused on understanding turbulence through art, a famous artist figured it out over 100 years ago. His name? Vincent Van Gogh.
Van Gogh’s “Starry Night” is one of the most iconic painting of all time, but when scientists analyzed it, they realized that Van Gogh had completely nailed the concept of “turbulence” in his painting without any formal education or training on the subject.
Turbulence is hard to understand with math, scientists have turned to art to depict how it looks. It looks like this.
The German physicist Verner Heisenberg said when i meet god i am going to ask him to questions why relativity and why turbulence I really believe he will have an answer for the first as difficult as turbulence is to understand mathematically we can use art to depict the way it looks in June 1889 Vincent van Gogh painted the view just before sunrise from the window of his room at the st. paul de my soul asylum in some remained a probe us where he admitted himself after mutilating his own ear in a psychotic episode in the starry night.
His circular brush strokes create a night sky filled with swirling clouds and Eddie’s of stars van Gogh and other Impressionists represented light in a different way than their predecessors seeming to capture its motion for instance across sun-dappled waters or here in starlight that twinkles and melts through milky waves of blue night sky.
The effect is caused by luminance the intensity of the light in the colors on the canvas the more primitive part of our visual cortex which sees light contrast and motion but not color will blend two differently colored areas together if they have the same luminance but our brains primates subdivision will see the contrasting colors without blending with these two interpretations happening at once the light in many impressionist works seems to pulse flickr and radiate oddly that’s how this and other impressionist works use quickly executed prominent brushstrokes to capture something strikingly real about how light moves 60 years later russian mathematician Andre kool Moe grove furthered our mathematical understanding of turbulence.
