To this aim, a portable, user-friendly device designed to easily calibrate a sensor in laboratory and/or on field is introduced here.

This convergence is explained in more detail in the editorial which accompanies the first part (Bec . 2022 , 20210101.
View Article and Find Full Text PDFTurbulence is unique in its appeal across physics, mathematics and engineering. And yet a microscopic theory, starting from the basic equations of hydrodynamics, still eludes us. In the last decade or so, new directions at the interface of physics and mathematics have emerged, which strengthens the hope of 'solving' one of the oldest problems in the natural sciences.
