Those of us who enjoy seeing mechanical carnage have been blessed by the rise of video sharing services and high speed cameras. Oftentimes, these slow motion videos are heavy on destruction and light ...

In this historical photo from the U.S. space agency, an F-16 Scamp model being tested in the BART on Oct. 6, 1992. The photo shows a basic flow visualization test using smoke and a laser light sheet ...

The QueSST jet will produce a soft thump instead of a sonic boom. — -- NASA is relying on a century-old imaging technique as the aerospace agency works to develop a next-generation supersonic jet ...

How fast is the gas coming out from those little duster tubes of canned air? Perhaps faster than one might think! It’s supersonic (video, embedded below) as [Cylo’s Garage] shows by imaging clear ...

Philosophical Transactions of the Royal Society of London. Series A, Mathematical and Physical Sciences, Vol. 242, No. 844 (Dec. 20, 1949), pp. 153-171 (19 pages) The steady, supersonic, irrotational, ...

NASA recently visualized shockwaves with a T-38 jet flying at supersonic speeds, the sun as a light source, and a 150-year-old photography technique. The resulting images are the first time shock ...

Microwave discharges represent a cutting‐edge method for generating plasma by utilising high-frequency electromagnetic energy to ionise gases, thereby facilitating precise energy deposition and ...

“We were in a turn and climbing when one of the inlets showed signs of instability. Shortly thereafter—KER BLAM!—the aircraft slammed my head against the side of the cockpit and then momentarily ...

Philosophical Transactions of the Royal Society of London. Series A, Mathematical and Physical Sciences, Vol. 251, No. 987 (Sep. 4, 1959), pp. 1-21 (21 pages) A scheme of approximate solution is ...

Flow visualization is the process of making the physics of fluid flows (gases, liquids) visible. At the University of Colorado we have a course for mixed teams of engineering and fine arts photography ...
