Research Highlights

See news highlight in DOE Office of Science ASCR Discovery New Faces 2007
• Predicting the small scales of alpha models for turbulence
• Understanding the small scales in rotating stratified flow
• A novel investigation of rotating and stratified flows
• Rare events in turbulence might not be so rare
