When wind blows at the surface of a liquid of sufficiently high viscosity, a wave packet of small amplitude is first generated, which sporadically forms large-amplitude fluid bumps that rapidly propagate downstream. These nonlinear…

Measurements of atmospheric winds in the mesoscale range (10-500 km) reveal remarkably universal spectra with the $k^{-5/3}$ power law. Despite initial expectations of the inverse energy cascade, as in two-dimensional (2D) turbulence,…
The present study is first to provide experimental evidence of tonal noise and acoustic feedback by a stationary airfoil with a tip-gap placed between two side plates. Tones are linked to an aero-acoustic coupling using synchronized…

In high energy nuclear collisions, QCD jets deposit a large fraction of their energy into the produced matter. It has been proposed that as such matter behaves as a liquid with a very small viscosity, a fraction of this energy goes into a…
