SUMMARY:Recurrent flows: The clockwork behind turbulence
DESCRIPTION:Featuring Predrag Cvitanović\, Georgia Institute of Technology
	\nPoster: http://physics.bu.edu/internal//files/get/COLL-111715-cvitanovic.
	pdf\n\nPart of the Physics Department Colloquia Series.\n\nIn the world of 
	moderate Reynolds number\, everyday turbulence of fluids\nflowing across pl
	anes and down pipes\, a velvet revolution is taking place.\nExperiments are
	 almost as detailed as the numerical simulations\, DNS (Direct Numerical Si
	mulation) is\nyielding exact numerical solutions that one dared not dream a
	bout a decade\nago\, and dynamical systems visualization of turbulent fluid
	's state space\ngeometry is unexpectedly elegant.\n\nWe shall take you on a
	 tour of this newly breached\, hitherto inaccessible\nterritory. Mastery of
	 fluid mechanics is no prerequisite\, and perhaps a\nhindrance: the talk is
	 aimed at anyone who had ever wondered why - if no\ncloud is ever seen twic
	e - we know a cloud when we see one? And how do we\nturn that into mathemat
	ics?
