This Artemis I launch simulation shows how the rocket's exhaust plumes interact with the air, water, and the launchpad. It's helping engineers redesign the launch pad and mobile launcher that will send astronauts to space aboard Artemis II. go.nasa.gov/4fL6BIX

To my fluid dynamicist followers. If you are curious about the use of water and oceanography for artistic expression, consider this on-line event at Oxford University: Underworlds / Underwater - Oxford Talks talks.ox.ac.uk/talks/id/56147…

This version of the “1812 Overture” by Tchaikovsky is just impressive. Let’s finish 2024 with a good soundtrack 🎵 open.spotify.com/track/3FTtol76…

Johan Christian Dahl - "View of Dresden by Moonlight" (1839)

A life spent making mistakes is not only more honorable, but more useful than a life spent doing nothing. George Bernard Shaw

Nietzsche and van Gogh had a creative peak in 1888 and remarkably many similitudes in their lives. How a bit of madness sometimes (often?) enhances the artistic need for creation. An interesting podcast from the Stanford University: open.spotify.com/episode/1LB0Si…

The cheapest wind tunnel of all: A van & a splitter plate! It doesn't match Reynolds, or Mach number, but it tells you how a control system might work for the most advanced wing concept you've never heard of…

A leaf flutters as it falls. But put holes in it, and the fluttering can stop, as shown in the recent paper by Sánchez-Rodríguez and Gallaire (go.aps.org/4gBBAqK). Don't miss their Journal Club presentation on Feb 20 at 11am ET. Register here: go.aps.org/4hwEwX6

First round of feedback on my PhD dissertation is in! One step closer to the defense. 🥹✨

Flow measurements are often sparse and noisy, but physics-constrained neural networks can help reconstruct full flow fields. From laminar wakes to chaotic Kolmogorov flow, Mo & Magri from Imperial Aeronautics explore the effects of noise levels in training data @ go.aps.org/4hdJVBo
