The global ocean is the Earth's heating and cooling system, pushing balmy tropical waters toward the poles and bringing back colder, nutrient-rich waters. But modeling this system is extremely complex ...

Advanced experimental techniques have been developed for application in the Volkswagen automotive wind tunnels. Such procedures are: laser–Doppler anemometry (LDA) for detailed flow–field measurements ...

Figure 1. Illustration of unified image-based aerodynamic measurement techniques Image-based aerodynamic measurement techniques are being developed at Western Michigan University's applied ...

Using high-speed video and schlieren imaging, a research engineer has created videos that show how air flows through masks with and without exhalation valves. Many people wear masks in public to slow ...

A new flow visualization study from the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) starkly demonstrates why face masks with exhalation valves are not effective for slowing the spread of ...
