Von Karman vortices are spectacular in satellite imagery, are more common than they may sound, and, at least in one case, they have proven to be damaging. As a meteorologist, one of my favorite ...

These vortices can be exploited by a plane flying above them. It gives the plane lift and helps cut down on fuel consumption. Borschberg believes that, one day, planes will fly in formation ...

Toroidal vortices, common in fluid dynamics, are newly explored in electromagnetism as two distinct forms: vector toroidal ...

These nacelle strakes can induce stable longitudinal vortices to redirect and reenergize the airflow over the engines and back upwards to even the upper part of the aircraft wings, generating ...
