A sudden change in surface topography/roughness is frequently encountered by flows in engineering and environment. In this paper, Melika carried out systematic wind tunnel experiments and used the data to understand this type of flows..bit.ly/3c8NcXf
Stall-cells are 3D separated flows on wings that appear under certain conditions and affect the wing performance. In this paper by Francis De Voogt in @flow_journal, we explore how a trailing edge flap affects the appearance of these stall cells. cambridge.org/core/journals/…
It was great to work on this. Thanks to @SteGambuzza for his work with Magnus!
Actuator disks are frequently used to simplify #windturbines, but how well does that work far away from the object? Magnus from our team @eptntnu, collaborating with @Bharath_Lab, explores this in our new #OA work at J Renew Sustain Energy @AIP_Publishing:

How does a dense cluster of obstacles affect flow and scalar transport? Experiments done by @Claudia67236606 and analysis by Dea Daniella Wangsawijaya now published in @flow_journal. cup.org/3tArscF
Boundary layer measurements over porous and rough surfaces by @prateek_aero and Dea Wangsawijaya in our new wind tunnel. This is a challenging problem on decoupling the effects of permeability and roughness on wall-turbulence. Hopefully, we can make some progress...
Our work on generating homogenous turbulence using a randomly actuated impeller array is published in Exp. Fluids! link.springer.com/article/10…
Exciting PhD opportunities in our group!

Congratulations to @SteGambuzza who completed his PhD viva today! His work examined the effects of turbulence on performance of lab-scale turbines. Thanks to Majid Bastankhah and Davide Lasagna for examining his thesis. He is the 24th PhD completion from the lab!
New colleague in the new year!
Happy holidays and a big congratulations to the new Dr. Biler! She’s on her way to the UK to start a postdoc with @GBharathram ! 👩🎓🎉
We are looking for cheap 4-5MP resolution cameras that operate at 100-200ish Hz for PIV use with LED light source. Any suggestions from fluids folks out there??
Does particle shape affect mass transfer in turbulent flows? Find out in Our new @JFluidMech paper on Mass transfer from small spheroids suspended in a turbulent fluid cup.org/3m4cd86
Cool opportunity in our lab! Facility development, laser-based measurements, data analysis and possibly modelling!

Can’t believe it has been over 4 years, but, has been a great fun to work with Andhini.
Meet Dr Andhini Zurman-Nasution, Research Fellow at @unisouthampton. Andhini's research covers #CFD & fluid-structure interaction of propulsive flapping foils, inspired by fins of aquatic animals & wings of bio-flyers, to improve engineering design #drones #WomeninSTEM
Looking forward to this!
Not long now until the UK Fluids Conference, 8-10 September 2021! The programme is now available to view online: southampton.ac.uk/~assets/do…
This year's event will be held online. Are you joining us? southampton.ac.uk/engineerin…

We are hiring! A lecturer (Assistant Prof) or Associate Professor in Control and Robotics! @UoSEngineering jobs.soton.ac.uk/Vacancy.asp…
Amazing PhD opportunity in @C_Vanderwel’s group to work on urban pollution in our very cool facilities!
PhD Opportunity in my lab! The project is all about using windtunnel/watertunnel facilities and laser-diagnostics to investigate indoor-outdoor air quality exchange with scale building models. Fully funded for UK students. @UoSAeroAstro @UoSEngineering jobs.soton.ac.uk/1453821DA
Interested in effects of particle shape on settling? There are plenty of applications from ocean plastics to glass recycling… Our work in collab with @poftwente in @JFluidMech looked at settling of thin curved particles in quiescent/turbulent background. cup.org/2VNNc6o
That is a very cool animation!
Looking forward to the to all the new submissions to FLOW!
