Understanding how wind moves pollen can guide urban planning decisions about green spaces

Due to climate change, plants' pollination season has been growing longer and longer. As a result, people are exposed to allergens for extended periods each year, raising a major public health concern ...

Fluid simulation at unprecedented scale provides toolkit for fundamental physics and applied fluid engineering

What governs the speed at which raindrops fall, sediment settles in river estuaries, and matter is ejected during a supernova? These questions circle around one, deceitfully simple factor: the rate at ...

Numerical Simulation of Ion Flow Field and Multi-Factor Influence of Rotating Wind Turbine Tip Corona Discharge Under Thundercloud Electric Field

Abstract: Rotating wind turbines are more vulnerable to lightning strikes than static wind turbine, possibly due to the different distribution of tip corona charges. However, there is a lack of ...
