Researchers Investigate Turbulence in Planetary Cores
New research investigates the combination of elliptical deformation of streamlines and vorticity that can lead to the destabilization of any rotating flow via the elliptical…
Astronomers Examine the Processes Involved in Generating Turbulence
A new study of turbulence in galaxies concludes that in many cases it is generated not by star formation but by gravitational effects alone. The…
Study Reveals Turbulence Responsible for Magnetic Field Misbehavior in Solar Flares
In a newly published study, researchers from John Hopkins University detail the role of turbulence in magnetic field misbehavior of solar flares. When a solar…
Numerical Calculations Give Insight into the Relativistic Properties of Turbulence
New calculations give scientists a better understanding of turbulent processes in regimes that can be found in astrophysical phenomena. The American Nobel Prize Laureate for…
Friction on Raindrops Dissipates Almost as Much Atmospheric Energy as Turbulence
A new study published in the journal Science states that rainfall soothes the atmosphere, almost as much as turbulence. They calculated that a substantial portion…
