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 ...

Large Eddy Simulation (LES) has emerged as a pivotal computational approach in fluid dynamics, enabling the resolution of the dominant, energy‐containing turbulent eddies while modelling the effects ...

Numerical computations are carried out for the NREL S809 airfoil. The flow is modelled using an unsteady incompressible Reynolds Averaged Navier-Stokes solver. Two turbulence models (SST k/ω of Menter ...

Scientists at the University of Stuttgart's Institute of Aerodynamics and Gas Dynamics (IAG) have produced a novel dataset that will improve the development of turbulence models. With the help of the ...

The dissipation of kinetic energy in the oceans has been modelled in intricate detail by Brodie Pearson and Baylor Fox-Kemper at Brown University. The duo used their model to explain how energy ...

This paper analyses turbulent air flows in and around single and multiple rectangular buildings, with consideration of ventilation effects. The Navier-Stokes and k-ε equations of the turbulence model ...

This section was adapted from The Engine and the Atmosphere: An Introduction to Engineering by Z. Warhaft, Cambridge University Press, 1997. How many times a day do we turn on a faucet? Do it now.

The boundary layer, a tiny layer on the surface of a body in a flowing fluid, such as an airplane wing in the air, is of paramount importance for the future of flight. Just over 100 years ago, Ludwig ...

Turbulence in the cooling system of a fusion machine such as the blanket is especially complex and its understanding and prediction is one of the major challenges facing the reactor design. The ...
