In a breakthrough that challenges conventional physics, scientists have confirmed the existence of “second sound” — a ...

MIT researchers observe a “second wave” of heat in superfluid helium, confirming that heat propagates like sound.

Understanding the relationship between the structure of a tornado-like vortex and how it transports debris can help curb its ...

It's no secret that air travel requires a lot of technical know-how. What exactly is wake turbulence and how does it affect ...

At the same time, that vortex is carrying conductive aerosol particles, which ionize the air and produce even more turbulence. Coarse copper leaf was chosen as the most conductive aerosol out of ...

This winter, it seems as if temperatures have been fluctuating more significantly. Over the past year, it seems as if severe weather events have been occurring more frequently as well. Answers as ...

These imbedded vortices interact with each other and create some turbulence within the overall vortex. This lessens the strength of the overall vortex. In contrast, a clean wing produces a single ...

Wake Vortex that trails from the wing tips of larger, heavier, and low-speed airplanes causes turbulent air, which poses a danger to any lighter aircraft following. To minimize the effect of wake ...

US investigators have concluded that wake turbulence caused by an Allegiant Air Airbus A320 ... the NTSB concluded that the Cirrus’ flight attitude was upset by the wake vortex created by the Airbus ...
