In competition diving, athletes chase a rip entry, the nearly splash-less dive that sounds like paper tearing. Part of a successful rip dive comes in the impact, where divers try to open a small air cavity with their hands. fyfluiddynamics.com/?p=18621

Ade et al. (Kirti Sahu's Lab: Raindrops Research) reveal how the height a droplet falls from transforms its breakup patterns in an airstream. From mesmerizing vibrational modes to complex bag-stamen breakups, the dance of inertia and surface tension is a sight to behold! @ go.aps.org/3WZqFRf

The Gulf Stream current carries warm, salty water from the Gulf of Mexico northeastward. In the North Atlantic, this water cools and sinks and drifts southwestward, emerging centuries later in the Southern Ocean. fyfluiddynamics.com/?p=21843

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

SWE Celebrates Women's Equality Day! Let's remember the persistent and courageous women who fought tirelessly for women's rights. #WomensEqualityDay #SWE #VotingRights

Visualizing Science! I'm holding a series of free, online workshops, thanks to Johns Hopkins University. All are welcome! I plan to have fun with Danielle VanBrabant, Damond Kyllo, and Amey Zhang to introduce visualization topics and challenges. No art experience is necessary.

PRFluids Editors' Suggestion: Julian Mak つ ◕_◕ つ et al. reveal how sloping sea floors influence the stability of ocean currents through Rossby edge waves. They highlight the importance of phase shifts over phase tilts. go.aps.org/4768b5e #FluidDynamics #Oceanography

Have you submitted to the APS DFD Gallery of Fluid Motion? 🌀 Don't miss the chance to be included in the APS DFD Gallery of Fluid Motion! Share your work as a video or a poster to highlight the science and beauty of fluid motion. The deadline is September 10 at 5:00 p.m. ET.

The Magnus effect visualized by an incredible volleyball serve by Kento Miyaura.

PRFluids Editors' Suggestion: How do raindrops slide down a window? Akhil Varma explores how weak inertial effects impact receding contact lines in partially-wetting liquids, and found that as drops speed up, their shapes change into cusplike forms. go.aps.org/3MpKU4z

If you can’t beat them, join them. Instead of banning #GenerativeAI like #ChatGPT in the classroom, some educators are looking at their potential as tools to teach #physics. Sophia Chen has the latest for APS News: go.aps.org/3T6Cfb1
