Turbulence, the chaotic, irregular motion that causes the bumpiness we sometimes experience on an airplane, has intrigued ...

New University of Reading research—which builds on a previous study that found turbulence increased as the world warmed over ...

Flying remains the safest form of transportation, but a slew of recent turbulence incidents have caused injuries, ...

Recent advances in flow dynamics and turbulence transition have significantly deepened our understanding of how laminar flows evolve into complex, chaotic turbulent regimes. While the phenomenon ...

With the arrival of El Capitan, LLNL researchers are entering a new era of scientific simulation — one in which they can ...

Turbulence occurs when air currents are disrupted, much like a river’s smooth flow encountering a boulder. Mountains, thunderstorms, and sudden wind shifts can all create instability.

The simulation of turbulent reacting flows, connected with environmental protection and the design of chemical and mechanical processes, is increasingly important. Statistical Mechanics of Turbulent ...

“Chuanfei has carried out the world’s largest turbulence simulation of its kind that has taken over 200 million computer CPUs [central processing units] at the NASA Advanced Supercomputing ...

Turbulence makes many people uneasy or downright queasy. And it’s given researchers a headache, too. Mathematicians have been trying for a century or more to understand the turbulence that arises when ...

Fluid flow around bluff bodies such as circular and rectangular (square) cross-sections is a fundamental fluid mechanics problem and has been a popular focus of research for many years. Several ...
