The wave clouds were crafted by a phenomenon known as Kelvin-Helmholtz instability, which occurs as a result of differences in air density in adjacent layers of the sky. Moisture and strong winds ...

The chosen solution in his thesis are Helmholtz resonators, which are a kind of acoustic spring. Using a carefully selected opening into the cavity, frequencies can be filtered out, and ...

Kelvin-Helmholtz instability, which transforms fair weather clouds into the form of crashing ocean waves, is a rare and wondrous phenomenon. One of the best examples I’ve ever seen is in a video ...

A new paper published in the journal Physical Review Research provides experimental support for the hypothesis that hand clapping essentially acts like a Helmholtz resonator—akin to the hum ...

It seems quite rare." Local meteorologist Jan Null called the clouds captured in Harrison's image "a spectacular example of Kelvin-Helmholtz wave clouds." Indeed, these types of clouds get their ...
