An international team of scientists featuring Florida State University researchers has developed a model that predicts the spread of vortices in so-called superfluids, work that provides new insight ...

Conceptual diagram of the influence of horizontal vortex tubes on tornado genesis and development during the intensification stage: (a) the effect of horizontal vortex tubes on tornado rotation; (b) ...

Researchers have created a model that describes the spread and speed of tornado-like vortex tubes in superfluids. This work expands on a previous study that reported experimental results obtained in ...

There was once a saying from the renowned American physicist Richard Feynman about turbulence. He said that it remains to be the most important "unsolved" problem in classical physics. The challenge ...

Nobel laureate in physics Richard Feynman once described turbulence as "the most important unsolved problem of classical physics." Understanding turbulence in classical fluids like water and air is ...

Researchers have managed to visualize the vortex tubes in a quantum fluid, findings that could help researchers better understand turbulence in quantum fluids and beyond. Nobel laureate in physics ...

(Nanowerk News) Researchers at the FAMU-FSU College of Engineering and the National High Magnetic Field Laboratory have new insight about the formation of vortices in a type of quantum fluid, work ...
