Tomas Bohr is Professor of Physics in the Section ”Biophysics
and Fluids” at the Department of Physics as well as
director of Center for Fluid
Dynamics at DTU. Tomas Bohr’s field of research is
Complex Systems. He has worked with chaos, turbulence and
statistical mechanics and written ”Bevægelsens
Uberegnelige Skønhed. Om kaos.” (Gyldendal 1992) for
the lay audience and is co-author of the monograph ”Dynamical
Systems Approach to Turbulence" (Cambridge 1998). In later years he
has been particularly interested in strongly non-linear fluid
flows, which, even if they are not turbulent, give rise to
surprising structures - in particular surfaces with edges, corners
and needles. Simultaneously, he studies biofluid dynamics in the
context of planktonic organisms and the sap dynamics in
plants. Tomas Bohr combines theoretical work with simple model
experiments on e. g. hydraulic jumps, bathtub vortices, sand
ripples and sap flows in trees.
