​Tsinghua researchers reveal the aging dynamics of sea ice driven by diffusive desalination

Sea ice is a crucial component of Earth’s climate system, having important effects on ocean circulation, sea temperature, surface albedo, etc. As sea ice ages, its porosity and salt content decrease, which directly influences its thermal and mechanical properties and thereby influences its inter...

​Tsinghua researchers reveal continuous transition from elastic to elasto-inertial turbulence

Viscoelastic fluids are ubiquitous in daily life and industrial applications, such as toothpaste, shampoo, and polymer solutions. These fluids exhibit turbulent behaviors distinctly different from Newtonian fluids. Polymers can induce two new types of turbulence: elastic turbulence (occurring whe...
