Watch as an Airbus A330 creates stunning wingtip vortices during take-off, revealing the power of lift and airflow in action.

Wingtip vortices, a form of wake turbulence, are rapidly rotating air generated by an airplane's wings whenever they produce lift, posing a significant and often unseen hazard, especially from heavy ...

The study of vortex dynamics in fluid mechanics is critical for both advancing aeronautical design and minimising flow-induced hazards. At its core, vortex dynamics examines the formation, evolution, ...

When people want to talk about something unpleasant, they often invent nicer-sounding phrases to disguise what's really going on. "Wake turbulence" is the kind of term that can bring to mind vague, ...
