I am looking to hire PhD students to join our Multiphase & Multiscale Flow Lab in Mechanical Engineering @univofmaryland.bsky.social
Background in ME, Physics, ChemE, Civil (or related), interest in fluid mechanics/soft matter, and hands-on lab work are key.
Please help spread the word!

Nascent water waves induced by the impulsive motion of a solid wall | Journal of Fluid Mechanics | Cambridge Core Nascent water waves induced by the impulsive motion of a solid wall - Volume 1008

Our new study, led by Philippe Gondret and Cyprien Morize (FAST Laboratory), part of Wladimir Sarlin's PhD, has just been published in Journal of Fluid Mechanics. It explores how impulsive motions generate waves. doi.org/10.1017/jfm.... @univparissaclay.bsky.social @univofmaryland.bsky.social

Congrats on the work Nathan! Looks amazing.

Looking forward to presenting our work on capillary flows of fiber suspensions at the @apsphysics.bsky.social Global Summit.

Microplastics hinder plant photosynthesis, study finds, threatening millions with starvation Researchers say problem could increase number of people at risk of starvation by 400m in next two decades

🚨 Microplastics researchers gathered existing studies and have begun to note patterns in how microplastics interfere with photosynthesis 🌱 including in staple crops (wheat, rice, maize/corn) 🌾🍚🌽 #plasticstreaty

Excited to share our new paper in @pnas.org doi.org/10.1073/pnas...! Ice cubes often appear cloudy because, as water freezes, air bubbles get trapped and scatter light. But how does freezing rate affect the shape of the bubbles?
