This scientist is the alphabetically second namesake of a phenomenon that results in the formation of right hexagonal cells in the absence of turbulence.
This scientist is the alphabetically second namesake of a phenomenon that results in the formation of right hexagonal cells in the absence of turbulence. With Plateau, this scientist names the phenomenon of a falling fluid stream dividing into smaller pockets while preserving volume and losing surface area. A dimensionless number named for this scientist describes buoyancy-driven flows, and is the product of the (*) Grashof and Prandtl numbers. This scientist also co-names a type of fluid instability that forms namesake "fingers", and occurs at the interface of a low-density and a high-density fluid with G. I. Taylor. For 10 points, name this physicist whose non fluid-based discoveries include a namesake form of elastic scattering that explains why the sky is blue.
