[KÖNYV][B] Physics of buoyant flows: from instabilities to turbulence

MK Verma - 2018 - World Scientific
Hydrodynamic flows exhibit turbulent behaviour which is not well understood till date. When
a fluid is in a gravitational field, the flow becomes even more complex due to the gravity …

Anisotropy in quasi-static magnetohydrodynamic turbulence

MK Verma - Reports on Progress in Physics, 2017 - iopscience.iop.org
