History is filled with stories of the great being felled by the puny. Goliath and a pebble, Achilles and his heel, the ...

This study employs potential flow theory with a discrete-vortex method to model the unsteady aerodynamics of a flat plate, with a particular focus on the coupled dynamics of leading-edge and ...

Massive defaunation and high extinction rates have become characteristic of the Anthropocene. Genetic effects of population decline can lead populations into an extinction vortex, where declining ...

Atlantic hurricanes have a sharp annual cycle with more than half count concentrated in only 3 mo of August to October, which is, however, usually not captured by traditional tropical cyclone (TC) ...

This project aims to develop a major capital asset for the environmental flow community. A wind-tunnel model in the shape of a generic building is being constructed, fitted with some of the most ...

Polar vortices are omnipresent in planetary atmospheres, however, not much is known about their existence and characteristics in the Sun due to the present lack of direct observations at the poles.
