Simulations reveal the devilish details of vortex dynamics. Vortex reconnection is the process by which two oppositely signed vortices cut and connect to each other. Reconnection is a fundamental ...

Vortex dynamics simulations reveal reconnection, an important property linked with creation of turbulence cascade, fluid mixing, and aerodynamic noise generation. Turbulent pipe flow simulated at high ...

Vortex dynamics and the Navier–Stokes equations constitute a cornerstone of fluid dynamics, offering profound insights into the behaviour of complex flows. Vortices, with their swirling motions and ...

These are tiny, discrete whirlpools that each carry a fixed amount of angular momentum. The scientists used the nanoparticle "stones" to study the process of vortex reconnection, in which lines of ...

Fluid dynamics is the study of the motion of liquids and gases, characterising complex flow phenomena through both experimental investigation and mathematical modelling. Knot theory, a branch of ...

The knots in your shoelaces are familiar, but can you imagine knots made from light, water, or from the structured fluids ...

The subject of vortices might seem esoteric. But their impact does make headlines, as seen recently in an outbreak of tornadoes, swirling vortices that killed at least 80 people across eight U.S.
