The Weaire-Phelan structure is a solution to this scientist's namesake problem that seeks to Âfind an arrangement of cells ofequal volume that minimizes the surface area of their common walls.
The Weaire-Phelan structure is a solution to this scientist's namesake problem that seeks to Âfind an arrangement of cells ofequal volume that minimizes the surface area of their common walls. The theory of Ostwald ripening, an effect in which largemolecules in a solution grow at the expense of smaller ones, is based on an equation which states that vapor pressure at aninterface depends on the curvature of the interface, named for this scientist and Gibbs. A type of nondispersive oceanic wavethat balances Coriolis forces against either topographical boundaries or against another instance of the same wave is named after this scientist. This scientist is the first namesake of a phenomenon in which shear flow of a light flfluid on top of a heavierone generates instability at their interface. An inviscid flfluid will have constant vorticity around a closed loop according to atheorem formulated by this scientist. For 10 points, identify this physicist who names an instability with Helmholtz, a "circulationtheorem," and an absolute temperature scale.
