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 🌀!

📣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!

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!
