Interaction of shocks and turbulence investigated with a focus on high intensity turbulence levels. A new theoretical framework was developed and tested to understand turbulent jumps of mean ...

Results shown in this article were published in a scientific journal of the Nature publishing group, Scientific Reports. In order to achieve a fusion power plant, it is necessary to stably confine a ...

Turbulence, particularly clear air turbulence, is becoming more frequent and severe. The three main types of turbulence are mountain wave, convective, and clear air turbulence. Staying buckled up ...

Anyone who’s flown can attest to the power of atmospheric turbulence. My own worst encounter with rough air was one late December in the North Pacific, some 400 miles south of the Aleutians. The plane ...

Quantum-inspired “tensor networks” can simulate the behaviour of turbulent fluids in just a few hours rather than the several days required for a classical algorithm. The new technique, developed by ...

Seven people were sent to a hospital in New York on Friday night after their Boeing plane experienced high turbulence, which resulted in their plane being diverted from its scheduled landing in Newark ...

Wakes can be encountered up to 25 nm behind the generating aircraft. The most significant encounters are reported within a distance of 15 nm. Credit: EASA Safety Information Bulletin 2017-10 Fast ...

MADRID–Unprecedented high-altitude weather conditions that caused turbulence at 57,000 ft. triggered a series of events which led to the loss of Airbus’ Zephyr high-altitude pseudo satellite (HAPS) ...

This may come as a shock, if you're moving fast enough. The shock being shock waves. A balloon's 'pop' is shock waves generated by exploded bits of the balloon moving faster than the speed of sound.
