Nexus Mods is a website that hosts computer game mods and other user-created content related to video game modding. It is one of the largest gaming mod sites on the web, [ 2 ] with 30 million registered members and 1733 supported games as of June 2022, with a single forum and a wiki for site- and mod-related topics.
A vortex generator ( VG) is an aerodynamic device, consisting of a small vane usually attached to a lifting surface (or airfoil, such as an aircraft wing) [1] or a rotor blade of a wind turbine. [2] VGs may also be attached to some part of an aerodynamic vehicle such as an aircraft fuselage or a car. When the airfoil or the body is in motion ...
Vortex tube. The vortex tube, also known as the Ranque-Hilsch vortex tube, is a mechanical device that separates a compressed gas into hot and cold streams. The gas emerging from the hot end can reach temperatures of 200 °C (390 °F), and the gas emerging from the cold end can reach −50 °C (−60 °F). [1] It has no moving parts and is ...
8. Donkeys Are 'Stubborn' for a Reason. Donkeys are notoriously 'stubborn" - or at least, that's what many people believe. If a donkey stands its ground and refuses to move, it's pretty hard to ...
Wingtip vortices are circular patterns of rotating air left behind a wing as it generates lift. [1] : 5.14 The name is a misnomer because the cores of the vortices are slightly inboard of the wing tips. [2] : 369 Wingtip vortices are sometimes named trailing or lift-induced vortices because they also occur at points other than at the wing tips.
VORTEX projects. NSSL mobile mesonet vehicles of the first Project VORTEX, equipped with surface measurement equipment. The V erification of the O rigins of R otation in T ornadoes Ex periment (or VORTEX) are field experiments that study tornadoes. VORTEX1 was the first time scientists completely researched the entire evolution of a tornado ...
An optical vortex (also known as a photonic quantum vortex, screw dislocation or phase singularity) is a zero of an optical field; a point of zero intensity. The term is also used to describe a beam of light that has such a zero in it. The study of these phenomena is known as singular optics .
Vortex breaker. A vortex breaker is a device used in engineering to stop the formation of a vortex when a fluid ( liquid or gas) is drained from a vessel such as a tank or vapor–liquid separator. The formation of vortices can entrain vapor in the liquid stream, leading to poor separation in process steps such as distillation or excessive ...
