The Fascinating World of Flows - Lecture 2

Explore the second lecture in a series on fluid dynamics, delivered by Prof. Rama Govindarajan from the International Centre for Theoretical Sciences. Delve into the fundamental concepts of flows, their instabilities, and the transition to turbulence. Connect these principles to everyday experiences, such as river patterns around obstacles, cloud formation, and the need for stirring when mixing sugar in tea. Gain insights into the basic tools used to describe flows and their behavior. This lecture is part of a comprehensive summer course that spans from June 13 to July 6, 2023, covering various aspects of fluid dynamics and their real-world applications.
