Elbing’s research focuses on identification of fluid mechanisms within complex high-Reynolds number flows.

His research includes flow control (active and passive methods), sound from tornadoes at frequencies below

human hearing (infrasound), and multiphase flows (e.g. annular film thickness). His research has been pub-

lished in top fluids and acoustic journals (e.g. Journal of Fluid Mechanics). In addition, his work has been fea-

tured in numerous articles (e.g. Physics Today, Wired Magazine, IEEE Spectrum), radio shows (e.g. NPR’s All

Things Considered), and in a mini-documentary series on the National Geographic Channel.

2007; Identified a fundamental scaling law for polymer degradation in a turbulent boundary layer that was used to

set limits on its use for US Naval surface ships [Elbing et al., 2011, JFM]

Proposed a fundamental scaling law for air layer drag reduction that accurately predicted the success when it was

later implemented on a Mitsubishi Heavy Industry ship in Japan that saved ~10% fuel [Steven Ashley, “Slippery

ships that float on air,” Scientific American, Dec 30, 2008; “Airships of the sea,” The Economist, Dec 11, 2010;

reduction system for the 2010 America’s Cup (BMW/Oracle Racing Team) [John Casey, “Blow your mind,” Sail-

ing Anarchy, published Feb 19, 2010; the “slick system” for drag reduction]
