The researchers have managed to do quantitative analysis of ‘controlled’ turbulence. The researchers could control the degree of turbulence by controlling the rotation speed and wall temperature of the spinning pipe gas lens. The researchers also can potentially do further experiments where they can correct turbulence effects on laser beams in real time.
