An international team of scientists featuring FAMU-FSU College of Engineering and Florida State University researchers has developed a model that predicts the spread of vortices in so-called superfluids, work that provides new insight into the physics that governs turbulence in quantum fluid systems such as superfluid neutron stars.

Walking out of the latest “Top Gun” movie, you might remember the iconic catchphrase, “I feel the need for speed.” Pete “Maverick” Mitchell, played by Tom Cruise, said those famous words in the 1986 movie, and they became the mantra of NAVY fighter pilots pushing their limits with the aerodynamics of flight. That’s the movies, but what about real life?

Rajan Kumar, the director of the Florida Center for Advanced Aero-Propulsion (FCAAP) and a professor in mechanical engineering at the FAMU-FSU College of Engineering, has some thoughts about that.
