Vortex dynamics simulations reveal reconnection, an important property linked with creation of turbulence cascade, fluid mixing, and aerodynamic noise generation. Turbulent pipe flow simulated at high ...

Every airplane creates wake turbulence while in flight, which results in two counter-rotating vortices trailing behind the aircraft. These vortices can affect other aircraft as it passes. According to ...

Using HLRS’s Hawk supercomputer, University of Stuttgart scientists have for the first time produced high-resolution simulation data characterizing the transition from low to high Reynolds numbers in ...

Engineers at the FAMU-FSU College of Engineering have identified the precise flight angles at which vortices behind a cone-shaped aircraft nose become unstable, creating asymmetric forces that can ...

There was once a saying from the renowned American physicist Richard Feynman about turbulence. He said that it remains to be the most important "unsolved" problem in classical physics. The challenge ...

A multi-institution collaboration has been studying turbulence's influence on galaxy formation. The team recently revealed the so-called 'sonic scale' of astrophysical turbulence -- marking the ...
