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.

To help build aircraft that can better handle violent turbulence, researchers developed a new model that allows engineers to incorporate the physics of an entire vortex collision into their design ...

This composite image combines observations from the NASA/ESA/CSA James Webb Space Telescope of the Phantom Galaxy (M74) with a high-resolution simulation of galactic turbulence. The simulation from ...

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 ...

RESEARCH TRIANGLE PARK, N.C. -- Design of Army aerial vehicles and weapon systems relies on the ability to predict aerodynamic behavior, often aided by advanced computer simulations of the flow of air ...

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 ...

A 2D slice of the world's largest turbulence simulation, revealing the fractal structure of the density, shown in yellow, black and red, and magnetic field, shown in white. Astronomers have developed ...
