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 ...

This warning came from ATC as we were flying westbound in our mighty Cessna 172T. Ahead and east of us was a Boeing C-17 on approach to the local air base. I instructed the flight student to tighten ...

Turbulence is something that affects every aircraft in flight. However, the phenomenon known as wake turbulence not only affects aircraft, it's caused by them. Wake turbulence is generated by aircraft ...

The Vortex Particle Method (VPM), a meshless vortex flow simulation approach, is gaining traction for its efficient simulation of unsteady vortex wakes evolution that is shed by aircrafts, rotors and ...

Airflow can be distrubed by storm systems, passing aircraft, or physical barriers. During flight, we experience this irregular movement of air as turbulence, which can interrupt your otherwise smooth ...

Despite being among the most researched topics on supercomputers, a fundamental understanding of the effects of turbulent motion on fluid flows still eludes scientists. A new approach aims to change ...

Using the Frontier supercomputer at the Department of Energy's Oak Ridge National Laboratory, researchers from the Georgia Institute of Technology have performed the largest direct numerical ...
