Since at least the 1920s, scientists have been puzzled by the turbulence that arises when a liquid hits a wall. For instance, what happens when water violently sloshes against the side of a pool or ...

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 ...

A unique set of data was collected during a large-scale field study of diffusion about an urban complex at Fort Wayne, Ind. Observations of turbulent wind fluctuations were obtained on two towers, one ...

In order to push flight technology beyond the supersonic regime, fundamental research on viscous hypersonic flow will be essential. It is widely recognized that this research must have both a strong ...

The boundary layer, a tiny layer on the surface of a body in a flowing fluid, such as an airplane wing in the air, is of paramount importance for the future of flight. Just over 100 years ago, Ludwig ...

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 ...

Heat transport in the Earth's mantle and in the atmosphere is probably not as effective as previously thought. Not only in the Earth's mantle, in the atmosphere and in the outer layers of the Sun, but ...
