📣 Our new paper is out in Physical Review Fluids! Using a Cauchy-number-based nondimensional framework, we uncover the scaling laws governing deformation and unsteady load alleviation in plunging airfoils with flexible trailing edges. The paper is open access! doi.org/10.1103/6t5l...

📣 Our new paper is out in Experiments in Fluids! By introducing a grooved wing-tip design, we successfully mitigated the tip vortex. Up to ~40% pressure recovery was achieved at the vortex core. A collaboration between @eng.cam.ac.uk, TUAT, and Edinburgh. doi.org/10.1007/s003...

My stay at TU Delft is over now. What a wonderful month it has been. Thank you to all people I met in Delft and hopefully I can come back next year, for a longer time!

Visiting Kamo Aquarium with @kei-jokura.bsky.social . We’re gonna do PIV on ctenophores here!

My student recently built this experimental facility to test low Reynolds number flows. Here’s an accelerating/decelerating cylinder at Re=10.

I gave a talk at 21st International Symposium on Flow Visualization (ISFV21). Met old friends, new people, and got nice feedbacks.

WaterLily 1.4 is out! github.com/WaterLily-jl... Biggest updates to our pure @julialang.org flow solver since 1.3: 1. Ability to add explicit turbulence modelling 2. Easier flow visualization with @makie.org 3. Even faster CPU performance

Doing some preliminary PIV of a ctenophore with @kei-jokura.bsky.social

New WaterLily version is out 🌀! github.com/WaterLily-jl... #JuliaLang #CFD #GPU #LES 1/2

📣New paper alert! Our new paper in Experiments in Fluids (@springer1842.bsky.social) shows the vortex force map (VFM) method is an excellent technique in experimental fluid mechanics to estimate unsteady forces from snapshot PIV 🌀 It's open access! t.co/pX26t3KFsH

My first post on Bluesky features photos of TU Delft. I had a great stay - thank you to everyone who met with me for research discussions. Looking forward to visiting again in September!
