ADELPHI, Md. -- Army researchers have designed a computer model that more effectively calculates the behavior of atmospheric turbulence in complex environments, including cities, forests, deserts and ...

Researchers at Purdue University have created a turbulence model for vortex collisions that could allow aircraft engineers and designers to build aircraft more capable of handling extreme scenarios.

A sneeze. Ocean currents. Smoke. What do these have in common? They're instances of turbulence: unpredictable, chaotic, uneven fluid flows of fluctuating velocity and pressure. Though ubiquitous in ...

Scientists are blending physics-informed AI with supercomputing to model plasma turbulence more accurately and efficiently. These breakthroughs could improve predictions for fusion reactors, ...

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 ...

Those who have searched for a pattern in the chaotic splatters of a Jackson Pollock painting may intuitively grasp turbulence and all its complexity. Now imagine Pollock’s swirls of paint in motion ...

From chaotic swirls in teacups to sudden jolts mid-flight, turbulence is a universal fluid phenomenon with real-world consequences. New research is uncovering how large-scale flow patterns can reveal ...
