However, the latter should be taken with a grain of salt as they are more of a prototypical solution than an actual solution.

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 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!

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.

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 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 😢

Hey I wanted to start studying CFD I wanna know what topic pick up on like research paper and stuff

As someone currently doing their PhD in Vortex Ring dynamics... I think they're neat

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.

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. :)

I find turbulence especially beautiful from a mathematical perspective. Especially the fact that the phenomenon is governed by a linear functional equation always baffles me... Also, there are a few really nice analytical results for turbulent flows that are rather surprising

Suggestion: Some planetary flows could be included, like coriolis effect, saturns hexagon and jupyters towering cloud bands? Awesome video. Rayleigh instability in a water tap should be higher tier for being so commonly overlooked.

Not that it matters, but I completely agree with your higher placement of the ring bubble on grounds of coolth. Fun video, thank you and Simon for it.

If you've ever seen some weird spirals around some long smoke stack, tower or chimney (or those old car antennas), they're to mitigate the effects of the Von Karman Vortex sheets. I came across it after googling something F1 related and now can't stop seeing it everywhere on my way to work

That was really cool, thanks for sharing Kat, and for elevating her work, Simon!

I almost die when I saw "Turbulent flow" ranked in the F tier and "Vortex rings" in the E tier... and i understand that this ranking was based on different types of fluid flows rather than specific techniques. However, for me, Lagrangian Coherent Structures represent the most beautiful way of visualizing fluid flows. ❤

It’s a crime for a mathematically oriented fluid mechanics person to put smoke rings in E tier.

bro I'm just hydrology student, that's too many fluids that aren't water

Kelvin-Helmholtz instability can also occur in the air, creating beautiful repeating wave-shaped clouds.

I refuse to accept that laminar flow is C tier. There is no other type of flow that I get more hyped for than when I read the words "assume Laminar flow".

Turbulent flow in the F tier?!.. ...but hey, it's your video.

You could have added plasma and MHD as well. They are pretty neat😂

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.

I didn't realize there is a specific fluid dynamic effect in play in the planetary nebula.

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

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.

Great video!

Laminar flow deserves S tier just for how satisfying it is.

Considering plasma is basically a superheated ionized gas, does that mean it has its own unique fluid mechanics? Or is it something different altogether?

"... turbulence is often where a lot of our _current_ models will break down". Why did I find that funny?

The bouncing water droplets are pretty neat. Thank you and Simon.

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!

Very, very cool! Loved the ferrofluids :)

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.

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.

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.
