Engineering Physics Annotation << Back FOLLOWING LORD RAYLEIGH RESEARCHES. PART 2 L.N. PYATNITSKY Some achievements in the sphere of Rayleigh interests relate to hydrodynamic turbulence, interaction of acoustic waves and fl ames, and the parapsychology. One of the turbulence problems is the absence of an idea concerning the occurrence of turbulent pulsations. A model described in the work is based on the experimental data. The proposed model allows putting the inverse problem, for the fi rst time. The example of its solution represented identifies the properties of primary disturbances, their distribution on the walls and in time. Also the consideration discovers the leading role of the sound waves in the formation of f ame structure and specifi cs of the propagation. The phenomenon of normal combustion transition to detonation in a pipe is considered as an example. The consciousness–physical reality problem discussion includes some brief overview and examples of the consciousness impact on the water structure and on the computer response. Key words: turbulence, turbulence origin model, turbulence inverse problem, sound waves, flame, detonation, mind matter problem. Contacts: E-mail: pyat7@mail.ru Pp. 14-48.
