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

I’m Kevin, sharing my love for planes and the stunning views of Wellington–Pōneke, NZ’s capital — I stream most Sunday ...

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

As long as you can satisfy the requirements to produce Von Karman vortices—which include something like an island that “sticks up” into the air flow, a favorable wind speed, and cloud cover ...

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.

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 ...

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

Microwave satellite data are key to capturing major changes in a hurricane’s strength, such as when a storm undergoes rapid ...

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 ...

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 ...
