Big Bass Splash: Thermodynamics and Randomness in Action March 22, 2025 – Posted in: Uncategorized
The Big Bass Splash as a Microcosm of Thermodynamic and Random Processes a sudden, chaotic energy release in a bass splash embodies thermodynamic principles of energy transfer and entropy. When a fish plunges into water, its kinetic energy transforms rapidly into fluid motion, generating shockwaves and turbulent waves. This sudden conversion exemplifies energy conservation—no energy is lost, only redistributed across fluid domains. Entropy rises as the initially ordered mass disperses into chaotic wave patterns, mirroring…
