We look forward to working on this new project supported by @NSF at @UMassAmherst in collaboration with Luca Caracoglia @Northeastern to derive a model to predict the influence of turbulence on flow-induced instabilities of offshore wind turbine blades.

This is the winning video that Sudhansh Tanneru from our lab submitted to the Graduate Gallery Competition at @UMassMIE @UMassAmherst.
This is a clip from our submission to the Gallery of Fluid Motion APS DFD. The complete video is here: youtube.com/watch?v=xZiVyUSI…
The response of a closed-loop kirigami pattern in flow. The kirigami sheet undergoes a large elongation in the direction of flow, but despite this large elongation, the sheet does not experience any flow-induced instability.

Vortices that are formed during the tail-flip escape response of crayfish.
From our paper in collaboration with @ethanclotfelter, and our students Luis X de Pablo and Adrian Carleton, just published in @iobjournal.

Flow through a deployed ribbon-cut kirigami sheet.

This is a fractal-cut kirigami sheet placed in flow. The kirigami sheet buckles at higher flow velocities and passively controls the direction of jets that are formed downstream of the sheet. From our paper just published in Extreme Mechanics Letters: authors.elsevier.com/sd/arti…

Following Exactitude, published in 2022, comes Multiplicity: On Constraint and Agency in Contemporary Architecture, our second edited volume, co-edited with L. Katsaros and Michael T. Davis, published beautifully by @umasspress and with contributions from 11 scholars.
These are angular oscillations of a cylinder placed in flow. When the cylinder is allowed to oscillate in a convex orientation (right), it reaches larger amplitudes compared with when it is allowed to oscillate in the concave orientation (left). doi.org/10.1016/j.jfluidstru…
And, when a square prism does want to oscillate in flow, even without any initial push.

These elongated S-shaped vortices are shed in the wake of a flexibly-mounted cylinder that oscillates as it interacts with the incoming inertial-elastic flow. From our paper just published in the Journal of Non-Newtonian Fluid Mechanics: authors.elsevier.com/a/1iIIO…
This is an image of our sculpture in the catalog of the Gallery of Fluid Motion's exhibit: “Chaosmosis: Assigning Rhythm to the Turbulent” that is on display at the Gallery of the National Academy of Sciences in DC.

In our work just published in @JFluidMech, we show a new mode of shedding in the wake of a cylinder forced to oscillate in viscoelastic flow, that is caused entirely by fluid's viscoelasticity. These are the elongated red and blue regions in the video. doi.org/10.1017/jfm.2023.861
It was an honor to give a flash talk at the National Academy of Sciences @theNASciences last night on our piece from “in the wake” with @paririahi @UMassAmherst that is on display at the Traveling Gallery of Fluid Motion @apsfluiddynamic.
