University of New South Wales researchers have created vortex generators that can reportedly reduce the operating solar module temperature by up to 2.5 C. They built two different prototypes, based on ...

Jetstar recently announced that from February 2024, new Airbus A321 planes equipped with “vortex generators” would be used over Brisbane to reduce aircraft noise, while its older A320 fleet would be ...

Heat transfer enhancement in fluid and convective systems seeks to improve the rate of thermal exchange by deliberately disrupting boundary layers, increasing turbulence and promoting mixing. Common ...

The retrofits will leave the carrier's entire fleet of Airbus A320s and A321s with the noise-reducing devices, which divert wind from passing over ports on the wing, preventing a whistling tone during ...
