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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

Vortex-Induced Vibration (VIV) suppression devices are installed on slender offshore structures—drilling and production risers, steel catenary risers (SCRs), top-tensioned risers (TTRs), umbilicals, ...

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 ...

Universal Flow Monitors launched the P420 Series, a set of plastic, vortex-shedding flow rate transmitters designed to process corrosive fluids, water, brine, and low-viscosity fluids in water ...

Renewable sources have soared across the Americas, although experts remain dissatisfied. We’ve seen solar panels that work at night (like Tesla’s), what’s left to see? A team of scientists has just ...
