Guasto says the new understanding could help in the design of medical equipment to reduce such infections: Since the phenomenon peaks at particular rates of shear, he says, «Our results might suggest additional design criteria for biomedical devices, which should operate outside this range of shear rates, when possible — either faster or slower.»

Wind shear is related to the rate at which different layers in the atmosphere move — zero shear means that the layers all move together, large shear means that the upper layers are moving very differently to those below — and is inimical to hurricane formation and intensification.

And since the factors involved in churning up flows of air are the subject of serious academic debate, they had a lot of possibilities to consider and at least 20 different units of measurement to factor into their models — technicalities like the magnitude of vertical shear of horizontal wind, flow deformation and simple wind speed, and highly specialised meteorological considerations such as the negative Richardson number, and the Brown energy dissipation rate.
