TAMPA, Fla. (WFLA) — The best thing about having state-of-the-art satellites constantly watching all aspects of earth is seeing different phenomena – like a recent loop of vortex shedding that was ...

Although helicopter aerodynamics involves the same forces that arise in airplane aerodynamics, these forces occur differently due to fluid flow dynamics across the aircraft. Helicopters take advantage ...

An innovative wind turbine concept currently in the prototype phase captures the energy of vorticity, an aerodynamic effect also known as the “vortex shedding effect.” As the wind bypasses a fixed ...

Vortex Bladeless uses a radically new approach to capturing wind energy. The device captures the energy of vorticity, an aerodynamic effect that has plagued structural engineers and architects for ...

ONE of the most interesting phenomena observed in fluid flow is that of vortex shedding, the best known example of which is the von Kármán vortex street behind a cylinder or similar obstacles normal ...

Life is complex. So is fluid dynamics. Actually, you’d think fluid motion isn’t all that complicated. Liquids flow downhill, moving around stationary objects, and generally going from point A to point ...

LOFTHOUSE, England, Jan. 30 (UPI) --Britain's Highways Agency said the violent swaying of lamp posts in a video taken by a motorist driving in high winds was an example of "vortex-shedding." Bob Hill ...
