Researchers at the Urbana-Champaign have unlocked new insights into the turbulent behavior of hypersonic flows by using advanced 3D simulations. Leveraging supercomputing power and custom-built ...

Surprising results from hypersonic air flow simulations could help design stronger, faster and more durable supersonic ...

Using powerful supercomputers and cutting-edge software, scientists have conducted the first-ever fully 3D simulations of ...

These discoveries could transform the design of ultra-fast vehicles. Researchers at the University of Illinois used supercomputers to model flows at Mach 16 around cones. Their simulations revealed ...

At Mach 16, they observed breaks in the flow within the shock layers, near the cone’s tip, where air molecules become more viscous. Interestingly, these breaks were absent at Mach 6 ...
