A new study revisits a century-old question about how turbulence starts. The findings could potentially influence not only ...

Researchers have pioneered the use of parallel computing on graphics cards to simulate acoustic turbulence. This type of simulation, which previously required a supercomputer, can now be performed on ...

At Argonne National Laboratory, researchers are trading in old-school approximations for raw supercomputing power, ...

Using HLRS’s Hawk supercomputer, University of Stuttgart scientists have for the first time produced high-resolution simulation data characterizing the transition from low to high Reynolds numbers in ...

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 ...

Abstract: Turbulent fluid flows are characterized by a wide spectrum of spatial and temporal scales. Unfortunately, the cost of resolving these scales with Direct Numerical Simulation (DNS) grows ...

This visualization shows moderately large pressure fluctuations within a 35-trillion-grid-point turbulence simulation, including 5x and 25x zoom-in views. The negative fluctuations organize into ...

A new simulation of the galaxy’s magnetic turbulence shakes up how we think about—and visualize—the astrophysical environments. The model was developed by James Beattie, a postdoctoral fellow at the ...

When you pour cream into a cup of coffee, the viscous liquid seems to lazily disperse throughout the cup. Take a mixing spoon or straw to the cup, though, and the cream and coffee seem to quickly and ...

A multi-institution collaboration has been studying turbulence's influence on galaxy formation. The team recently revealed the so-called 'sonic scale' of astrophysical turbulence -- marking the ...

Researchers uncover the long-hidden process that helps explain why the Sun's corona can be vastly hotter than the solar surface that emits it. Researchers have uncovered a previously hidden heating ...
