Turbulence

A recent study reveals that “odd viscosity,” a unique property where fluid particles spin uniformly, can cause regular patterns to emerge from the chaotic motion of turbulent fluids, such as those seen in a tumbling river or jet engine outflow. This discovery highlights the potential of controlling turbulence and has implications for natural phenomena like the solar corona and solar wind.

Researchers have developed a theory suggesting the existence of quantum viscosity in superfluids, potentially bridging classical and quantum hydrodynamics. This novel approach, which involves analyzing the fall of a sphere in a superfluid, seeks to validate the Reynolds similitude in a quantum context, challenging long-held beliefs in fluid dynamics. Credit: SciTechDaily.comA theoretical framework aimed at measuring Reynolds similitude in superfluids could potentially prove the presence of quantum viscosity.Every liquid…

The recent Bitcoin crash has dominated headlines over the past week. On the other hand, Ethereum (ETH) has been a victim of the recent market downturn despite its recent partnerships. In light of these developments, investors are pivoting to the best crypto to invest in, Algotech (ALGT), as it guarantees a 275% ROI once the presale ends. Stay tuned to unravel how Algotech stays ahead of Bitcoin (BTC) and Ethereum (ETH). TLDR BTC price prediction indicates Bitcoin (BTC) can soon cross the $42,000. ETH price…

Austrian company Turbulence Solutions claims it's already flight-testing a system that can detect and neutralize air turbulence, reducing the forces felt by passengers by up to 80% – and reducing fuel burn by up to 10%. It's set to launch in 2024. Nobody likes to fly through turbulence – which is tough luck, because climate change has already caused it to increase by as much as 55% on some popular routes, and it's projected to continue getting worse as temperatures rise, bringing wind speeds and thus wind shear along with…

Following Richard Branson’s announcement of halting further financial contributions, the stock price of Virgin Galactic experienced a significant drop of over 17% by Monday’s close. This latest complication adds to a series of challenges the company has faced, including recent layoffs and a suspension of commercial flights.“Even AI Rappers are Harassed by Police” | AI UnlockedSpeaking to the Financial Times, Virgin Galactic’s founder revealed his decision to stop funding Virgin Galactic. He cited post-pandemic financial…

The skies aircraft fly through are bumpier today than four decades ago, scientists have found, after producing a new analysis showing that turbulence has increased as the climate changed. New research from the University of Reading shows that…

Denver-based Frontier Airlines has hit more turbulence for troubles that, despite relatively low fares, have shaken relations with travelers. A new analysis of the nation’s 10 major airlines ranked Frontier last, citing high rates of “bumping” passengers involuntarily off flights, customer complaints, and fees for bags and changed flights. This seventh-annual report found that all airlines deteriorated in their performance with overall complaints increasing in 2022 by 87%. But Frontier’s reported data from 2022 showed…
