Even though the Navier–Stokes equations are deterministic, it seems that you cannot make predictions beyond a fixed time horizon, no matter how small the initial uncertainty. #physics#fluidmechanics
Earth’s magnetic field is maintained by a dynamo mechanism driven by convection in the liquid iron core. The candidate will perform numerical simulations of the related processes. The project is part of the Special Priority Programm DeepDyn, financed by the German Science Foundation @dfg_public
TVöD-Bund E13 from 1 Nov 2023 for a period of three years
This fluid, seemingly at rest initially, turns out to be convecting as revealed by a #timelapse movie. #Evaporation cools the fluid at the surface, which makes it a bit heavier than the fluid below, thus #convection ensues, very slowly!
This fluid is #rheoscopic, easy to make at home using shaving cream.
