Gregory Paul Bewley

Gregory Paul Bewley is an Associate Professor in the Department of Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering at Cornell University. His research focuses on turbulence, both its intrinsic properties and its role in various environmental settings. In clouds, turbulence causes droplets to collide, while in superfluid helium, it causes quantized vortices to reconnect. Greg Bewley has contributed to making these phenomena accessible experimentally through novel interpretation of experimental data and the invention of new devices and techniques. His teaching interests include fluid dynamics, turbulence, experimental fluid dynamics, and dynamics of flight.

Gregory P Bewley is a researcher at Cornell University specializing in fluid mechanics and turbulence. His work focuses on the visualization and characterization of complex flow phenomena, including quantized vortices, reconnecting vortices in superfluid helium, and the behavior of inertial particles in isotropic turbulence. He investigates turbulence decay at high Reynolds numbers, extreme fluctuations in turbulent flows, and the influence of anisotropy on inertial scales. His research also explores the connection between turbulence and natural phenomena, such as the flight dynamics of eagles. Bewley's experimental studies contribute to understanding the statistical properties of turbulent flows and the role of dissipative effects in turbulence.
