Reminds me of the end of one fluid dynamics lecture a long while ago where we fetched up singing “irrotational, incompressible, two dimensional fluid flow” to our prof as we were getting bored with the lecture – it goes well to the Cwm Rhondda (“bread of heaven…”) tune. Would've thought they'd There he worked on critical phenomena near the lambda point in liquid helium and near magnetic phase transition, and on superfluid hydrodynamics. Phase transitions in magnetic systems. Phase Transitions and Critical Phenomena, Volume 18: Cyril Domb. Lectures on phase transitions and critical phenomena : PDF eBook Download. If we have some complicated phenomenon we can't understand directly, and we figure out (or make a good stab at guessing) the universality class to which it belongs, we can make testable predictions about the complicated thing . €Mogens Høgh Jensen has made outstanding contributions to many problems in modern physics, especially concerning phase transitions and critical phenomena as well as chaos theory, turbulence and complex systems. Emphasis is first put on critical phenomena and scale invariance in classical systems. Phase transitions and critical phenomena: Series expansions for.
