A 2015 satellite photo captured a series of stunning "von Kármán vortices" swirling off Madeira and the Canary Islands. The ...

After the 53-boat fleet began the 2025 Transpac Race with staggered starts on July 1, July 3 and July 5, attrition has begun ...

A striking 2015 satellite image has captured a rare meteorological phenomenon known as von Kármán vortices swirling off ...

Nashville Zoo flamingos reveal the oddball birds generate many types of vortices to eat. The swirls could be an inspiration to human engineers.

The universe's invisible dark matter might swirl into spinning clumps laced with countless tiny vortices, new theoretical work suggests. The findings, published May 30 in the journal Physical Review D ...

Quantized vortices – one of the defining features of superfluidity – have been seen in a supersolid for the first time. Observed by researchers in Austria, these vortices provide further confirmation ...

These quantities are interwoven, forming a state where multiple flows and vortices are intricately entangled. Understanding and decoding the fundamental mechanisms of such complex, multi-field ...

What is more, the vortices were only present for small apertures, with the flow being laminar (that is, without vortices) for larger ones. Near the vortical-to-laminar transition, a single vortex in ...

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. — Attention is on the Florida Peninsula, where the National Hurricane Center has highlighted a medium (40% ...

A close look at the video shows a pair of rotating vortices, one rotating clockwise and the other rotating counterclockwise, and that's a behavior seen in strong updrafts or fire plumes in other ...

Vortices are a common physical phenomenon. You find them in the structure of galaxies, tornadoes and hurricanes, as well as in a cup of tea, or water as it drains from the bathtub.

Turbulence—where flows and vortices intricately intertwine—is a fundamental phenomenon found across nature, from our everyday surroundings to the cosmos. In particular, high-temperature fusion ...
