A new study revisits a century-old question about how turbulence starts. The findings could potentially influence not only ...

No two snowflakes may be the same, but models that fail to take these variations into consideration often fall short when calculating the way snow accumulates on roofs. In Physics of Fluids, ...

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 ...

Researchers have pioneered the use of parallel computing on graphics cards to simulate acoustic turbulence. This type of simulation, which previously required a supercomputer, can now be performed on ...

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 ...

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

From designing new airplane wings to better understanding how fuel sprays ignite in a combustion engine, researchers have long been interested in better understanding how chaotic, turbulent motions ...

A multi-institution collaboration has been studying turbulence's influence on galaxy formation. The team recently revealed the so-called 'sonic scale' of astrophysical turbulence -- marking the ...

Abstract: Turbulent fluid flows are characterized by a wide spectrum of spatial and temporal scales. Unfortunately, the cost of resolving these scales with Direct Numerical Simulation (DNS) grows ...

Researchers uncover the long-hidden process that helps explain why the Sun's corona can be vastly hotter than the solar surface that emits it. Researchers have uncovered a previously hidden heating ...
