Those eddies form in a regular pattern ... The animation below shows the development of the vortices downwind of either side of the object. Under specific conditions, the atmosphere can produce ...

Physicists have long tried to model the chaotic phenomenon of turbulence. Now, a team has pioneered a new quantum ...

But mesoscale eddies don't exist in only two dimensions. Modeling the 3D shape of these vortices also requires accurately predicting the vertical axis, which is much more difficult to measure ...

While turbulent flow is chaotic and irregular, as a fluid’s movement causes larger vortices or eddies to form and break down into smaller ones, physicists have long attempted to study and model ...
