Credit: Pixabay/CC0 Public Domain When Hurricane Milton roared onshore in Florida last month, its powerful winds shredded the roof of Tropicana Field in Tampa, which had originally been planned as a staging area for emergency responders. Other parts of the city, however, suffered much milder wind damage. Such complex variation in powerful winds is a […]
Scientists have developed a technique that could mitigate the effects of turbulence on dynamic structures and vehicles, with a particular focus on unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs). Turbulence is the name we give to changes in air pressure that cause aircraft to shake. This is most apparent when an aircraft judders as it passes through changes […]
The simulations used dots called tracer particles to traverse a molecular cloud and travel along with the material. As the particles travel, they record the density of the part of the cloud they encounter, building up a history of how pockets of density change over time. The researchers, who also included Liubin Pan from Sun […]
