When you pour cream into a cup of coffee, the viscous liquid seems to lazily disperse throughout the cup. Take a mixing spoon or straw to the cup, though, and the cream and coffee seem to quickly and ...

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 ...

The spatio-temporal evolution of wall-bounded turbulence is characterized by high nonlinearity, multi-scale dynamics, and chaotic nature, making its accurate prediction a significant challenge for ...

At Argonne National Laboratory, researchers are trading in old-school approximations for raw supercomputing power, ...

Researchers have uncovered a previously hidden heating process that helps explain how the atmosphere that surrounds the Sun called the “solar corona” can be vastly hotter than the solar surface that ...

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, famously described by Richard Feynman as “the last unsolved problem of classical physics”, pervades almost all natural and engineering flows. The century-old challenge of turbulence ...
