Fluid Mechanics

TLDR: To remove by shaking one would need accelerations high as 24g, which can damage the ear. A couple drops of vinegar or alcohol in the ear will lower the surface tension and make the fluid easier to remove

Hi all! I defended my Ph.D. thesis back in 2019 and I also served as the creator and moderator for the subreddit r/FluidMechanics for a long time. I think with that I have gathered enough experience and courage to answer some of your queries. Some broad topics that I can answer questions on are:

• computation fluid mechanics
• scientific programming and HPC
• nonlinear shallow water equations
• statistical description of turbulence: spectra, energy budget etc.
• experimental methods: PIV
• stratified turbulence
• academia
• navigating your career pre- and post-Ph.D.

Ask away!

The classic transcripts of Feynmans Lectures are now open and free! Some chapters are great to get a different perspective on theoretical fluid mechanics.

The JFM webinar series which was a great source of high quality research-based open seminars during the pandemic continues to thrive. It is now hosted in a different platform. It runs every first Friday of the month at 4pm.

We have an official Lemmy community
