The🪱 mania continues! In our last study lead by Rosa, we looked at the locomotion and dynamics of living worms (seen as active polymers) in porous environment made of 3D printed pillars arrays doi.org/10.48550/arXiv…

Fortune et al. examine tiny swimmers in a Petri dish, analyzing Stokes flow singularities and their boundary conditions. Authors introduce a Brinkman equation for depth-averaged fluid flow, revealing insights into microswimmer interactions near surfaces. go.aps.org/4cfRmWr

🚨 New Preprint! We study how fluid flow affects cyanobacterial colony formation. 👉🏽 arxiv.org/abs/2407.21115 A very short 🧵 Algal blooms are a huge threat to water quality in lakes across the globe! 👇🏼 Here's an example from #Lake Valencia in Venezuela 🇻🇪 (source: ESA)

Thermally driven turbulent flows are omnipresent in nature and technology. A good understanding of the physical principles is key to extrapolate to the strongly driven regime: Ultimate turbulence. Here is our recent Reviews of Modern Physics: journals.aps.org/rmp/abstract/1…

🚨PAPER ALERT 🚨Journal of Fluid Mechanics 1/4🧵We present a theory to describe heat or mass transport in convective #porous #media flows. Inspired by the ideas of the Grossmann and Lohse theory (GL theory), we derive the scaling relation for Nusselt as a function of Rayleigh Physics of Fluids @ UTwente

2/4🧵We provide a robust theoretical explanation for the empirical relations proposed in previous studies. We demonstrate why transport differs between 2D and 3D porous media convection, and we also discuss the difference between #Darcy (left) and #turbulent (right) convection.

Exciting findings on surfactant-laden bubble bursting from Matar Fluids Group and Co! They reveal how surfactants alter capillary wave dynamics and Worthington jet formation, impacting aerosol generation. Read more @ go.aps.org/4dAHnw3 #FluidDynamics #Aerosols #bubbles

Thanks for featuring our work Physical Review Fluids!

4th talk from the group by Konstantinos Zinelis on 3D Simulations of viscoelastic jets & filaments at #ICTAM2024. Tuesday 28th August 2024 Time: (14:30-14:50) Room: 325A, 3F (Non-Newtonian & Complex Fluids) Imperial ChemEng Imperial College London Prof Jesse Capecelatro Gareth McKinley

Our latest paper, with Gareth McKinley 🙌 Well done Konstantinos Zinelis! 😀👏 #FluidDynamics of a #viscoelastic fluid dripping onto a substrate 🔗online in Soft Matter tinyurl.com/jzm4ueau #Simulations #CFD Collab: Thomas Abadie (ChemEng Bham) Imperial ChemEng MIT MechE

Shapes matter in the dance of ice and water. A team that includes Sander Huisman & Detlef Lohse explores how the shape of ice affects melting rates in water, showing that ellipsoidal ice can melt up to 10% slower than disks due to natural convection! go.aps.org/3WWUa4Q

Charles Meneveau recipient of the 2024 George K. Batchelor Prize, presents his lecture: 'Turbulence, Macro-Vortices, and reduced flow models for wind energy applications' at the 100th Anniversary of #ICTAM2024 ICTAM2024 in Daejeon, Korea #JFM #flow #BatchelorPrize

⁦Gareth McKinley⁩ given the closing plenary lecture at ICTAM 2024 in Daegu: conveying non-Newtonian fluid dynamics to the general audience. Great lecture!

Enjoyed a fantastic seminar by Colm-cille Caulfield (Cambridge University; Journal of Fluid Mechanics) hosted by @Poftwente. He highlighted the importance of understanding stably stratified flows in geophysical systems like the atmosphere, lakes, and oceans—key to understanding climate dynamics.

Congratulations, Naoki Hori, for successfully defending his thesis: tinyurl.com/2cnxztzw. Naoki developed a fully in-house volume of fluid code to study turbulent multiphase Taylor–Couette flows. Congratulations also to the promotion team: Detlef Lohse and Roberto Verzicco.

Congratulations, Luuk Blaauw, for successfully defending his thesis: tinyurl.com/26bqegha. Luuk studied several topics on Turbulent multiphase Taylor–Couette flows. Congratulations also to the promotion team: Sander Huisman and Detlef Lohse

PRFluids Editors' Suggestion: How do surfactants make bubbles dance? Farsoiya et al. have got the scoop on rising bubbles and their zigzagging antics thanks to their new numerical method! go.aps.org/3zcaSWm #fluiddynamics #bubbles
