No need to go to the Caribbean for these coral reefs any more! Collaborative work with D. Villarroel-Lamb at UWI and me @ImperialCiveng have brought them in London Imperial College Fluid Mechanics. Seems appropriate for #FlumeFriday.

Did you know that Cyprus island has 107 dams? Among the largests Kouris, Asprokremmos and Germasogeia dams, combined with 66 aquifers and a desalination plant ensure water provision to agriculture and population #damsinislands #watermanagement

Biltmore Village in Asheville, North Carolina after the floodwater receded. Again, I have no words. These images speak for themselves.....

To all new students, welcome to Imperial College London, we’re thrilled to have you here! As Provost, I’m excited for the journey ahead as you embark on this new chapter. Let’s work together to shape the future and push the boundaries of innovation. #OurImperial youtube.com/watch?v=cVkJop…

It’s Black History Month! Thank you to all our amazing students, alumni and staff from the black community who make Imperial the force that it is. Thank you to all the academics, inventors & visionaries who paved the way in Science, Technology, Engineering, Math and Business ✨

How do big rocks move through smaller ones in riverbeds? New paper from Dedieu et al. reveals how larger particles (intruders) navigate through smaller grains in riverbeds! 🪨 With size ratios from 1.25 to 3, the dynamics shift dramatically! go.aps.org/4eq14aw #fluiddynamics

The reports and images coming from Spain are devastating with this video from near Valencia.

La DANA está arrasando Valencia: casas inundadas, coches flotando, servicios de emergencia colapsados y personas atrapadas Hilo con todas las imágenes que los medios de comunicación no te están enseñando

🧵 HILO sobre los destrozos que está causando la DANA en Valencia y alrededores y que por algún motivo los medios no están sacando

Devastated by the news coming from #Valencia. My best wishes to friends and other affected people.

As a two dimensional Kelvin-Helmholtz instability evolves, the stably stratified interface of negative/positive buoyancy (red/blue) is deformed - P. Mannix, J. Craske and Prof. David Ham

Developing a numerical method which computes an analytical projection of the probability density function (mannixp.github.io/D.stratify-pdf…) we are able to more accurately estimate how this process creates and destroys APE.

Addressing the root problems of what happened would require more than my expertise allows, unfortunately, but we (with some colleagues) have been able to put a short piece about the role of urban flood debris during this particular tragic event.

Great to hear Dr Sam Wood contributing to #WorldVentil8Day by discussing SAMHE.org.uk findings for ventilation rates in UK schools – do get on touch with Henry Burridge if you’d like to support #WorldVentil8Day in the future #WV8D

This is perhaps one of my favourite quotes from Tennekes and Lumley. Any other good ones from classic fluid mechanic books?
