Turbulence model could help aircraft handle extreme scenarios
22nd January 2021 10:56 am 22nd January 2021 10:56 am Researchers at Purdue University in the US have developed a modelling approach aiming to help design aircraft capable of handling extreme scenarios such as turbulence. Mechanical engineering professor Carlo Scalo and his research team use supercomputers to develop models that efficiently simulate vortex flow phenomena.
