For turbulent boundary layers in supersonic and hypersonic flow, there exist only three experiments which give turbulence data at a Mach number greater than 4 (Fernholz and Finley 1977, 1981): the hot ...

Encounters with extreme turbulence while in the air can be terrifying ... Global heating is causing disruptions in different layers of the atmosphere. Since 1979, wind shear in the jet stream ...

Different layers of the atmosphere can have different densities with air moving at different speeds, causing turbulence between layers. This turbulence can cause the formation of a wave pattern ...

We have found that low levels of helium injection near the leading edge stabilizes the turbulent boundary layer, apparently causing a reverse transition to laminar flow to take place. These results ...

One word kept popping up to describe the artist’s work and life: Turbulence is all around us. It is found in the whirls in the atmosphere that make a plane ride bumpy, the eddies that churn the ...

Turbulence is caused by eddies of “rough ... Global heating is causing disruptions in different layers of the atmosphere. Since 1979, wind shear in the jet stream has increased by 15 per cent ...
