Once again, those who weren't wearing their seatbelts reportedly took the brunt of it, including the cabin crew.

Two weeks into the cruise, the team encountered a patch of strong turbulence occurring along a 2,300-foot (700-meter) vertical stretch of water near the ocean bottom. This was surprising because ...

In his Fluids, Turbulence Control & Renewable Energy Lab, Jin and his research team test whisker-inspired designs in a 6-foot-long clear rectangular water channel. A pump moves water into the tube ...

Ocean turbulence stirred up by multitudes of creatures such as krill can be powerful enough to extend hundreds of meters down into the deep, a new study suggests.
