We've been hard at work at Vanellus developing our fully differentiable fluid solver, paving the way towards machine-learning accelerated fluid simulations. Have a read of our recent blog post to find out about our validation process! bit.ly/vanellus-validation

Despite their claims of being "guided by the science", the UK government's response to the pandemic frequently ignored scientific advice. Now that the UK's pandemic inquiry has opened scientists are increasingly being blamed for government mistakes. A 🧵 1/25

DPhil: Submitted! It doesn't feel real to be at this point but I'm so happy I am! Thank you so much to my supervisors James Oliver, @MathsMoore and @rcimpeanu for supporting me to this point, as well as countless others who can't fit into a tweet. Roll on the viva!

Please can somebody in the Basilisk community use basilisk.fr/src/examples/ato… to model this... For science!? #CFD #FluidDynamics

The archerfish preys on land-based insects and other small animals by shooting them down with water droplets from their specialized mouths and can hit them up to 3 meters above the water's surface [read more: buff.ly/2pfHojA] [video, BBC: buff.ly/3pqmopH]

I've recently been really struggling with the "finishing" process of my thesis, and this is something a lot of people in academia have with papers too. For those in the same boat, I'd really recommend this video, it's helped me a lot! youtu.be/WlKSBblYGH0 #AcademicTwitter

I have never wanted to own something more #fluiddynamics
Water simulation running on a 7-segment kinetic display. 🎧 recommended.

I've had great fun being the organiser for the Junior Applied Mathematics Seminar (JAMS) @OxUniMaths these last two terms. Every two weeks we hear from a graduate student about their research and it's great organising speakers and having my choice of sandwiches!

For those attending #BAMC, come along to CC01 at 10:50 to find out about our recent developments in modelling droplet impact onto elastic membranes, working alongside @MathsMoore, @rcimpeanu and James Oliver. There are more colourful plots where this one came from! @BAMC2022

Excited to be attending the #BAMC in person this year! A non-negligible reason for this is to add a second mug to my collection. Is this fantastic design good enough to replace my go-to office mug from Bath 2019? @BAMC2022

Back in October, @jamjar919, @LaurenceCullen and I participated in @SpaceApps, and we've just found out we won the Best Use of Data award, out of 4500 teams! We spent the weekend modelling light curves of asteroids, and you can check it out here! voxsteroid-io6i7.ondigitaloc…

Congratulations to the 2021 #SpaceApps Global Winners for being so innovative, creative, and sharing your passion for space and science! 🎉 Didn't get a chance to catch our live winners announcement? Check out the 10 Global Winners here: bit.ly/3GwDoQj.

Been looking forward for this one to drop for a while! Great work!
What happens when a drop hits a pool of another fluid? Find out how to estimate the penetration speed (it's not half the speed of the drop!) in these multi-liquid systems with @rcimpeanu and Ben Fudge (1st PhD paper!): journals.aps.org/pre/abstrac… @oxengsci @royalsociety @EPSRC @NSF

This afternoon in session M12.05 at 2:02pm #apsdfd2021, I’m excited to be presenting our recent work on modelling droplet impact onto elastic membranes, focusing on potential mechanisms for splashing suppression! 💦 @rcimpeanu @MathsMoore

A lot of firsts for me this week: My first trip to the USA, my first #apsdfd2021 and my first in-person conference talk of my DPhil! I'll be talking on droplets impacting onto elastic membranes Monday afternoon, M12.05. More details to follow! @APSMeetings

Had so much fun competing in the NASA #SpaceApps challenge this weekend with @jamjar919 and @LaurenceCullen, learning a lot of 3D modeling using #Threejs and #blender. Have a look if you'd like to play around with some asteroids (and cats)! voxsteroid-io6i7.ondigitaloc…

I feel like I've just gone full circle, going from digital to analogue and now back to digital! This definitely isn't the most accurate representation of droplet impact, but it was for sure the most fun to create! #cfd #droplets #fluiddynamics
Droplet impact onto a solid surface, animated! Taken from simulations written in basilisk.fr, plotted on #axidraw. Thank you @grunskm @twilliability for the inspiration, this was trickier than expected but I'm happy with the result! #cfd #droplets
