Turbulence - Centre of Excellence

At the Technical University of Denmark, Associate Professor Clara Marika Velte is building a brand new laboratory. With grants from the ERC (European Research Council) and the Poul Due Jensen Foundation, the lab will allow the research group to collect unique databases for turbulence research. Within the ERC project, the group can test existing established theory and within the scope of the Poul Due Jensen Foundation project develop novel, robust, theory based on a combination of advanced experiments and mathematical analysis.
