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 ...

If you've ever experienced the exceptionally powerful and reverberating sounds of a jet during takeoff, you likely won't be surprised that the noise produced by jet engines is ranked among the loudest ...

Airplane turbulence is often the scariest part of flying, because it can feel like the plane is about to freefall through the sky. But the vast majority of turbulence is not actually dangerous. It ...

image: This flow-acoustic simulation by Dr Zhong-Nan Wang, Research Associate in Computational Fluid Dynamics, shows the noise generated from a turbulent jet interacting with a surface. The coloured ...

Turbulence is caused by various factors including wind changes, storms, mountainous terrain (orographic lifting), and the wake of other aircraft, manifesting in different types such as thermal, wind ...

Different types of air turbulence present unique challenges for detection and avoidance. The most dangerous type occurs in clear skies and is invisible to radar, Severe turbulence forced Delta Flight ...

Weather is just one of the reasons you may experience turbulence during your flight. Turbulence is generally nothing to worry about, even though it can feel unsettling. There are several different ...
