The finite-span boundary layers exhibit: (i) an altered streamwise and a non-zero spanwise pressure gradient as a result of the variable downwash induced by the wing-tip vortices (an inviscid effect ...

As the name implies, Induced or lift-induced drag is a byproduct of lift. It is caused by wing tip vortices, which modify the upwash and downwash of air near the wing. For more information on tip ...

By making the wings longer and narrower, and thus higher in aspect ratio, the wing tip vortices generated by the wing are weakened. This reduces drag on the plane, and quite significantly so.

Folding wingtips on Boeing 777X allow for greater efficiency and lift during flight. The large wingspan compliance with ...

Vortex flow meters are flow sensors that detect the frequency of vortices shed by a bluff body placed in a flow stream. The frequency of the vortices is proportional to the flow velocity. Vortex flow ...

The Frost Vortex is a special ability found on certain weapons in Once Human, that causes enemies to slow in a set radius around the player then sustain frost elemental damage every second while ...

Scientists from the University of New South Wales (UNSW) in Australia have used rectangular vortex generators (VGs) as a passive cooling technique for photovoltaic panels and have found they can ...

Meandering designates the main manifestation of unsteady vortex dynamics observed in experiments. This study has the twofold objective to (i) develop a theoretical model describing vortex meandering ...
