Revolutionizing Turbulence Control with Innovative Approach.

Researchers at the University of Chicago have developed a new strategy to control the location, position, and properties of turbulence in experimental settings. The strategy involves creating an isolated turbulent blob within a calm environment by repeatedly firing sets of eight vortex rings towards the center of a cubic water-filled tank. The successful creation of such an isolated blob could open up new avenues for research, allowing physicists to explore questions that have been difficult to answer using traditional experimental methods.
