Simulations suggest a breakthrough in understanding how turbulence develops12.3.2026 09:43:46 CET | KTH Royal Institute of Technology | Press Release
A new study revisits a century-old question about how turbulence starts. The findings could potentially influence not only aircraft engineering but even design of mechanical heart valves, and treatment of heart disease. Computer simulations at Stockholm’s KTH Royal Institute of Technology indicate that very small vortices may create increasingly larger swirls of flow—the opposite of the traditional view of how energy is transferred in turbulence.
