Declining or Waning
- Classical Turbulence Theory:
Research on traditional turbulence theories, such as Kolmogorov's theories of turbulence, appears to be less prominent, suggesting a shift towards more complex and application-based studies. - Simplified Models:
The use of overly simplified turbulence models that do not account for high Reynolds number effects or complex flow interactions is decreasing, as researchers favor more sophisticated and accurate modeling techniques. - Basic Experimental Studies:
There is a noticeable decline in publications focusing solely on basic experimental studies without substantial theoretical or computational frameworks, indicating a preference for integrated approaches.
