They have developed a simple mathematical model that has helped them show
how turbulent flows will evolve over intervals.
The speed of these currents determines
how turbulent their flow around underwater mountain ranges (submarine topography) is.
But there's a lack of knowledge about the driving mechanisms behind the process and
how the turbulent flow, drifting snow, and snow cover all interact.»

«This newly discovered analogy has the potential to be a significant step forward in our understanding of
turbulent flows in free - surface vortices and to provide insights into diverse areas of study ranging from civil engineering hydraulic structures to weather systems in the atmosphere and even extending to the details of
how galaxies rotate around the black holes at their centres,» Dr Richard Sherlock, a lecturer in Physics at IT Sligo, said.
