ADELPHI, Md. -- Army researchers have designed a computer model that more effectively calculates the behavior of atmospheric turbulence in complex environments, including cities, forests, deserts and ...

Researchers at Purdue University have created a turbulence model for vortex collisions that could allow aircraft engineers and designers to build aircraft more capable of handling extreme scenarios.

RESEARCH TRIANGLE PARK, N.C. -- Design of Army aerial vehicles and weapon systems relies on the ability to predict aerodynamic behavior, often aided by advanced computer simulations of the flow of air ...

The field of turbulence theory continues to grapple with profound foundational questions despite extensive progress over recent decades. Central challenges ...

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 ...

Paul D. Williams has received funding from the Royal Society, Natural Environment Research Council, Leverhulme Trust, European Union, and Heathrow Airport. Turbulence on flights isn’t most people’s ...

Climate change could be making turbulence worse. Social media is making it more apparent. Videos from flights rocked by turbulence have become a mainstay on social media, where videos of people ...
