Two Australian studies published this week offer the first proof of a 70-year-old theory of turbulence. "The studies confirm a seminal theory of the formation of large-scale vortices from turbulence ...

There was once a saying from the renowned American physicist Richard Feynman about turbulence. He said that it remains to be the most important "unsolved" problem in classical physics. The challenge ...

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 new study revisits a century-old question about how turbulence starts. The findings could potentially influence not only aircraft engineering but even the design of mechanical heart valves, and ...

Turbulence is all around us. It’s in the swirl of coffee and milk in a latte, unfurling along the wings of airplanes and the sides of cars, churning the blood in your heart after the valve snaps ...
