Hope you’re settling in well at Caltech, Datta Lab! 😊

Take a look back at some of the outstanding papers published in PR Fluids in 2024 as well highlights from our Journal Club, the APS DFD award-winning posters and videos, and Frenkiel Award winners. (Music from #Uppbeat : go.aps.org/40VBAMC, License code: POH6OBESMHQOEGJP)

Thank you Physical Review Fluids for featuring the Drop Medusa poster 🙏🏻 Matar Fluids Group @LauretteSTucker Lyes Kahouadji Omar Matar

Very sad to hear of the passing of a giant of fluid mechanics. Prof. Acrivos leaves behind an unparalleled legacy: an incredible body of work and a family tree of students that will maintain his exacting standards. May Andy’s spirit rest in peace. cse.umn.edu/cems/news/memo…

📢 in Journal of Fluid Mechanics (bit.ly/3QuxMgE) on how viscosity alters drop-impact forces. With Bin Zhang, Cunjing Lv, & Detlef Lohse. The first and second force peaks emerge from distinct flow mechanisms—one at impact, another at take-off. Physics of Fluids @ UTwente bit.ly/4gUvD8P

Many thanks for highlighting our work Physical Review Fluids! 🙏👍😊

🚨 PhD studentship at Imperial with Omar Matar & Nausheen Basha in collab with CMAC University of Strathclyde! 💡Hybrid Physics–ML framework for efficient modelling of flow crystallisation 📅 Apply by 10 April 2025 🔗 forms.office.com/e/Zx7E4zBNVF Details: cmac.ac.uk/cedar-projects #PhD #ML #ChemEng

In their new Letter, Deblais et al. use experiments, theory, and simulations to study the very first moments of drop coalescence. In drop-drop and drop-bath configurations, the authors show the key role played by surrounding gas and van der Waals forces 🔗 go.aps.org/4j8XofH

Many thanks for highlighting our work Journal of Fluid Mechanics 👍🙏 Well done Debashis Panda Lyes Kahouadji & Laurette Tuckerman 🙌👏 #JFM #JFMRapids #OA #BlueCode LISN Imperial ChemEng

Great to see Paula Pico FLiang Juan Pablo Valdes & Victor and Usman at #OurImperial graduation ceremony last week Royal Albert Hall 😊🎉 Congratulations! 🙌

Amazing to have Detlef Lohse with us at Imperial ChemEng 🙌 Detlef will be talking to us about melting and tipping #Glacial #melting, #ocean currents #ClimateChange Grantham Institute Imperial Imperial College London Physics of Fluids @ UTwente Matar Fluids Group

Interested in living/active matter? I will be giving a Royal Society of Chemistry "desktop seminar" webinar on August 5, describing our recent work studying bacterial growth in complex fluids, along with my friend & intellectual hero Kate Stebe (U. Penn)! Register at: rsc.zoom.us/webinar/regist….
