Imagine trying to photograph wind. That’s similar to what NASA engineers dealt with during a recent effort to study how air moves around planes, rockets, and other kinds of aerospace vehicles. Air is ...

In a windowless, warehouse-sized lab on campus, a team of CU Boulder researchers huddle around two wind tunnels—long metal tubes that blow air currents at controlled speeds. Laura Shannon, a graduate ...

Silicon Valley is renowned as the birthplace of modern computing, home to companies like Google, Apple, and Microsoft. Yet long before venture capital and social media defined the region, an older ...

Despite advances in computational fluid dynamics modeling, physical testing of cars in wind tunnels remains valuable for carmakers. That's why Mercedes opened the Sindelfingen wind tunnel in 2013, and ...

Of the many roads leading to successful Artemis missions, one is paved with high-tech computing chips called superchips. Along the way, a partnership between NASA wind tunnel engineers, data ...

China has reportedly started operations on its first compounded wind tunnel dedicated to low-altitude aircraft testing in Guangzhou, Guangdong Province. Developed by Guangdong Aerospace Research ...

The study of flow field visualization and analysis is a cornerstone of modern fluid dynamics research, merging advanced optical, computational, and machine learning techniques to elucidate the hidden ...

Most of you reading this article have probably never seen a wind tunnel. I want to describe what a wind tunnel looks like, how it operates, and, more importantly, how we use it to help soybean growers ...

A tornado can be an awe-inspiring sight, but it can also flip your car, trash your house, and otherwise injure you with flying debris. If you’d like to look at swirling air currents in a safer context ...
