Loved this! Though I'm not sure I can forgive putting the Rayleigh-Taylor instability in D tier. Turbulent flow is cool!!! We don't need analytical solutions!!!
@@mastershooter64 There are some results like the Betchkov (I hope that was the name :) ) invariants that are disconnected from the Navier-Stokes equations and others like the law-of-the wall (and many other turbulent scaling laws) which can be rigorously derived through symmetry analysis of the governing equations. However, the latter should be taken with a grain of salt as they are more of a prototypical solution than an actual solution.
An Analytical solution would make designing fluid systems so much easier though. You wouldn't have to spend weeks doing a CFD runs or tunnel tests to work out the best configuration of a thing. Just Excel and goal seek.
You would think that a mathematician would put turbulence, the most important unsolved problem in classical physics, up in the tier list due to the challenge of its complexity. #MillenniumProblem
You answered your own question. It's important in classical physics and engineering. But the maths is just on another level of complex. Approaching it from an engineering or physics perspective turbulence and shocks and compressibility effects are some of the coolest ones based on aesthetics and usefulness but maths is seeking of knowledge for knowledges sake and in that turbulence and instability are just extremely scary. If you have a look at some of the equations you will not have a clue where even to start. The whole point of turbulence is that it is near impossible to mathematically model accurately.
Mostly agree but I can't allow Turbulent Flows to be left in the F tier. A problem that scared both Feynman and Heisenberg deserves a much higher position imo. Seriously, as a PhD student of CFD myself I loved the video and I appreciate how a tough topic like fluid dynamics is made very approachable. This is some top tier science communication and I am definately returning to this for inspiration for my next talk.
I'm not saying I'm the author of Firmament: The Hidden Science of Weather, Climate Change, and the Air that Surrounds Us, but nobody has seen me and the author of Firmament: The Hidden Science of Weather, Climate Change, and the Air that Surrounds Us in the same room.
I will never forgive you for your Turbulence-F-tier choice!! :D chaotic systems and the mathematical process of (seemingly) random behaviour arising simply from the non-linearity of deterministic systems is so deeply fascinating and beautiful to me!
Nice stuff. I remember learning about 'Taylor bubbles' when we were studying boiling water in power plants. The vapor formed when boiling water has to travel up the tubes inside where it was heated. Small bubbles with a large amount of liquid flowing wasn't a problem. But as you add more and more heat, the bubbles coalesce and eventually 'fill' most of the tube. Now you have a wholly different flow behavior that impacts the heat transfer with the tube wall. Fluid flows are so wonderfully complex, even for something as 'simple' as water. :)
Fire is arguably another multi-layered fluid phenomenon. Combining interesting fluid dynamics with chemical reactions, phase changes and (somewhat limited) self-sustainability. Considering its beauty and utility, but also the relentless chaos and violence is causes, it's an easy S Tier for me. Also, I can't believe you put the Crabby Nebula in D Tier.
As a CFD engineer I see no problem with turbulence, it's easy to work with, just slap a RANS model on top and pretend it's another passive scalar. Turbulence is clearly S tear 😢
The thing with laminar flows is not about its simplicity, but how rare pure natural laminar flows are. They barely exist. One tiny bump can ruin your perfect flow completely, some taking the whole thing to the other extreme.
as an engineer student we need turbulent flows, but I see why a mathematician doesn't like it, as the models are very hard to do via computation, we usually use wind tunnel data to analysis turbulent flows.
Here's an interesting one, in Chemistry there's a thing called the Briggs-Rauscher oscillating reaction, not only does it look kinda gorgeous but I have to imagine there's some funky stuff happening inside the reaction material too.

9:47 That’s a vapour cone not a sonic boom. Vapour cones are caused by water vapour traversing a rapid pressure change. The air in front of the aircraft is compressed and able to hold on to more gaseous water. There’s a rapid transition to low pressure along the body of the aircraft which has less capacity for gaseous water so the water transitions to visible droplets. Very quickly behind the aircraft air pressure returns to normal and the visible droplets return to invisible gaseous water. Sonic booms are seen briefly during rocket launches between the cloud layer and space. It’s the layer that’s too thin to hold much water vapour but still thick enough to host sound waves. Not as much footage out there and not as impressive as vapour cones.
My favorite part of the morning: Study the fluid interaction of hot coffee and cold milk as well as the chemical effects of the fluids on the human nervous system.
Dismissing turbulence as F tier because it involves non analytical solutions automatically is a red flag for a scientist after all in the absence of friction or another comparable constraining force all fluid flow or any other 3+ dimensional system of partial differential equations are turbulent and or otherwise nonlinear and chaotic. We have a strong bias against nonlinear mathematics which is probably a consequence of our brains not having evolved to handle such things but that says more about us than the universe. Again chaos is the norm not the exception, dismiss turbulence and good luck finding away to not violate conservation laws.
How about some love for the Richtmyer-Meshkov instability, or what you get if you combine a supersonic shock with a Rayleigh-Taylor like density difference
Cool idea! Yet, as an environmental engineer, I would order this completely different! Turbulent flow is amazing for the environment, otherwise e.g. water bodies would die due to Oxygen loss! A tier! And Taylor Instabilities are so cool too - at least C tier!
A lot of these lower tier entries remind me of subjects in my field where I tell my colleagues "that's really cool or would be very useful - I really hope someone else gets on that"
Oh I notice that combustion, plasma and nuclear is missing, I work with Ritchmyer meshkov instability whit shock flame interactions. Also detonation phenomena. A lot of perturbation methods, pde and so many cool things
Bouncing droplets are overrated. In Ireland rain bounces of everything and even rains sideways. It is called lashing rain ;) July 2023 was the wettest July on record and it was a complete nightmare.
When you mentioned dense above, less dense below, I thought i was going to see Rayleigh-Bénard cells. Was also hoping for some Bose-Einstein condensate.
Great idea, but as aerospace eng, must absolutely disagree on the rankings 🤣🤣🤣. Supersonic flow, turbulence, Von Karman, RT instability, vortex rings - all should be at least C, and more likely B and above 🤣🤣🤣 Thanks for the reminder of how cool is fluid dynamics :)
Considering plasma is basically a superheated ionized gas, does that mean it has its own unique fluid mechanics? Or is it something different altogether?
Aerospace engineer here and I hate to break your Sheldon Cooper math bubble but all aerodynamics involves compressible fluids NOT just supersonic flight because air is (that's right) compressible. Its not that compressibility effects magically go away they are simply less significant at lower speeds.

Can a perfect fluid, like those used in potential flow calculations, be compressible? I asked my lecturer last week and he didn't know of the top of his head.
Excuse me! Complex fluids are way more than just shear thickening/thinning - they are any fluid composed of more than one state of matter. The stress-strain moduli can be so unpredictable in their behavior that there isn't even a classification, one simply just has to plot the data. There are also fascinating behaviors like viscoelasticity that are accurate models for so many industrial, environmental, and biological materials and are still not well understood at all. I think complex fluids are pretty cool. Sincerely, a graduate student studying complex fluids.

There is no such thing as an incompressible fluid. However, different flow phenomena can be treated as either compressible or incompressible, governed by the Mach number, Helmholtz number, etc..
In practical terms yes It's compressible, however when you're in 'low speed' regimes, we often treat it as incompressible to make the systems nicer. It's one of those assumptions that if you wanted to include every single fact about the fluids you'd put it in, but the difference in effects is so small it's not needed at the lower speeds and makes the maths simpler.
Air is much happier to just move out of the way rather than compress- think like when you open a door. So you just treat is as incompressible for systems working under the speed of sound
Fantastic video! But some of those ranking decisions were blasphemous at best and an outright criminal offence in other cases. But I did enjoy the video!!!
