The shrinking of the clouds of the Great Red Spot on Jupiter has been well documented with photographic evidence from the last decade. However, researchers said there is no evidence the vortex itself has changed in size or intensity.

Analysis of Galileo’s Jupiter Entry Probe Reveals Gaps in Heat Shield Modeling

October 15, 2019 sarah Jonas 0 Comments Fluid Dynamics, Jupiter, Modeling, PHYSICS OF FLUIDS, University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign

The entry probe of the Galileo mission to Jupiter entered the planet’s atmosphere in 1995 in fiery fashion, generating enough heat to cause plasma reactions on its surface. The data relayed about the burning of its heat shield differed from the effects predicted in fluid dynamics models, and new work examines what might have caused such a discrepancy.
