Abstract :
Using hot-wire anemometry in a motored engine, new turbulence physics is observed in the evolution and sensitivity of characterizing parameters to changing molecular weights. Turbulent manipulation of mixing is afforded along with a role for nonequilibrium statistical mechanics in turbulence phenomenology.
