Nicole Sharp<p><strong>See the Solar Wind</strong></p><p>After a solar prominence erupts, strong solar winds flow outward from the sun, carrying energetic particles that can disrupt satellites and trigger auroras if they make their way toward us. In this video, an instrument onboard the ESA/NASA’s Solar Orbiter captures the solar wind in the aftermath of such an eruption. The features seen here extended 3 solar radii and lasted for hours. The measurements give astrophysicists their best view yet of this post-eruption relaxation period, and the authors report that their measurements are remarkably similar to results of recent magnetohydrodynamics simulations, suggesting that those simulations are accurately capturing solar physics.

Nicole Sharp<p><strong>Bow Shock Instability</strong></p><p>There are few flows more violent than planetary re-entry. Crossing a shock wave is always violent; it forces a sudden jump in density, temperature, and pressure. But at re-entry speeds this shock wave is so strong the density can jump by a factor of 13 or more, and the temperature increase is high enough that it literally rips air molecules apart into plasma. </p><p>Here, researchers show a numerical simulation of flow around a space capsule moving at Mach 28. The transition through the capsule’s bow shock is so violent that within a few milliseconds, all of the flow behind the shock wave is turbulent. Because turbulence is so good at mixing, this carries hot plasma closer to the capsule’s surface, causing the high temperatures visible in reds and yellows in the image. Also shown — in shades of gray — is the vorticity magnitude of flow around the capsule.

Nicole Sharp<p><strong>Fractal Fingers</strong></p> <p><a class="" href="https://fyfluiddynamics.com/wp-content/uploads/sti1.png" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank"></a></p> <p><a class="" href="https://fyfluiddynamics.com/wp-content/uploads/sti2.png" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank"></a></p> <p><a class="" href="https://fyfluiddynamics.com/wp-content/uploads/sti3.png" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank"></a></p> <p></p> <p>As bizarre as the branching fractal fingers of the Saffman-Taylor instability look, they’re quite a common phenomenon. In his video, Steve Mould demonstrates how to make them by sandwiching a viscous liquid like school glue between two acrylic sheets and then pulling them apart. The more formal lab-version of this is the Hele-Shaw cell, which he also demonstrates. But you may have come across the effect when pealing up a screen protector or in dealing with a cracked phone screen. In all of these cases, a less viscous fluid — specifically air — is forcing its way into a more viscous fluid, something that it cannot manage without the fluid interface fracturing.

Nicole Sharp<p><strong>A Stellar Look at NGC 602</strong></p><p>The young star cluster NGC 602 sits some 200,000 light years away in the Small Magellanic Cloud. Seen here in near- and mid-infrared, the cluster is a glowing cradle of star forming conditions similar to the early universe. A large nebula, made up of multicolored dust and gas, surrounds the star cluster. Its dusty finger-like pillars could be an example of Rayleigh-Taylor instabilities or plumes shaped by energetic stellar jets.
