Journal of Fluid Mechanics Webinar Series: Adrian Lozano-Duran, USA and Adrian Lozano-Duran, USA
Speaker: Adrian Lozano-Duran, MIT, USA Date/Time: Friday 21st May 2021 4:00pm BST/11am EST Title: Cause-and-effect of linear mechanisms sustaining in wall turbulence Abstract: Despite the nonlinear nature of turbulence, there is evidence that part of the energy-transfer mechanisms sustaining wall turbulence can be ascribed to linear processes. The different scenarios stem from linear stability theory and comprise exponential instabilities,…
Journal of Fluid Mechanics Webinar Series: George Fortune, UK and Xianyang Jiang, UK
Speaker: George Fortune, University of Cambridge, UK Date/Time: Friday 14th May 2021 4:00pm BST/11am EST Title: Waltzing worms: the dynamics of plant-animal collective vortex structures Abstract: Circular milling, a stunning manifestation of collective motion, is found across the natural world, from fish shoals to army ants. It has been observed recently that the plant-animal worm Symsagittifera roscoffensis exhibits circular milling behaviour,…
LIFD ECR Forum Rapids competition
The ECR Forum of the Leeds Institute for Fluid Dynamics (LIFD) are pleased to announce that we will be hosting a Rapids presentation competition (3-minute talks) on 12th May to showcase the research and exhibition skill of the Leeds Fluids community. The competition is open to any PGR, Post-Doc, or early-stage research fellow who has conducted research…
Journal of Fluid Mechanics Webinar Series : Zijing Ding, China and Mazi Jalaal, Netherlands
Speaker: Zijing Ding, Harbin Institute of Technology, China Date/Time: Friday 7th May 2021 4:00pm BST/11am EST Title: Coating Liquid Films down a Vertical Fibre Abstract: Previous experimental study by Kliakhandler et al. (JFM 429:381-390, 2001) reported three different flow patterns of a liquid film flowing down a vertical cylinder. The film flow is unstable due to the famous Plateau-Rayleigh…
Journal of Fluid Mechanics Webinar Series: Jesse Capecelatro, USA and Saksham Sharma, UK
Speaker: Jesse Capecelatro, University of Michigan, USA Date/Time: Friday 30th April 2021 4:00pm BST/11am EST Title: Turbulence modeling of strongly-coupled gas-particle flows Abstract: Many natural and industrial processes involve the flow of solid particles or liquid droplets whose dynamical evolution are intimately coupled with a carrier gas. A peculiar behavior of such flows is their ability to give…

Journal of Fluid Mechanics Webinar Series: Jon Aurnou, UCLA
Speaker: Jon Aurnou, UCLA, USA Date/Time: Friday 19th March, 2021. 4:00 pm GMT/11am EST Title: Dynamo Generating Flows in Planetary Cores Abstract: Planetary bodies typically host substantial liquid metal interior fluid layers. The fluid layers are often in turbulent motion due to planetary thermochemical evolutionary processes. This rapidly rotating turbulence can generate coherent, planetary-scale magnetic fields that can protectively shield a…
Journal of Fluid Mechanics Webinar Series: Mohammad Farazmand, North Caroline State University
Speaker: Mohammad Farazmand, North Carolina State University, USA Date/Time: Friday 12th March, 2021. 4:00 pm GMT/11am EST Title: TBC Abstract: *topic to be confirmed*
Journal of Fluid Mechanics Webinar Series: Marina Levy, LOCEAN_IPSL
Speaker: Marina Levy, LOCEAN-IPSL, France Date/Time: Friday 5th March, 2021. 4:00 pm GMT/11am EST Title: Bringing fluid dynamics to life in the ocean Abstract: No flow, no life. Without movement in the fluid, there would barely be any life in the ocean. Fluid movements allow the continuous supply of nutrients essential to photosynthesis in the sunlit layer of the ocean. This…
Journal of Fluid Mechanics Webinar Series: Mattia Gazzola, University of Illinois
Speaker: Mattia Gazzola, University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, USA Date/Time: Friday 26th February, 2021. 4:00 pm GMT/11am EST Title: Harnessing viscous streaming in complex active systems: mini-bots in fluids. Abstract: Viscous streaming is a phenomenon where an oscillating body generates stable, predictable and robust fluid flows that can be used to manipulate the body’s local surroundings. Viscous streaming has been well…
