I won’t be attending #apsdfd#apsdfd2020 this year - just can’t figure out how to safely see my family at Thanksgiving and travel to Phoenix days before.
Weymouth Lab group photo after #apsdfd2020 this year is a little different, but still good! Congrats to Andhini, Rodrigo, @NickDelago and @MarinLauber for doing a great job this year.
#apsdfd2020 may technically be over, but you can still enjoy the Gallery of Fluid Motion online!
Here’s a gorgeous simulation of the effect of active flow control (via suction) to improve airfoil performance from @KTHuniversity#AvGeek#apsdfd

Three talks from the @UKFluidsNetwork Thesis Prize Winners. All packed into one glorious hour. Could there be a better way to end the week? (OK fish & chips and a beer afterwards would/will top this off nicely!)
Another take-away from the @apsdfd2020 meeting. I watched the launch presentation of the new CUP journal “Flow”. Before I was skeptical of the need for a new journal in fluids. But I now fully endorse the idea. …
Would much rather have been in person in Chicago at #apsdfd2020. But it was nice to watch and reflect upon so many excellent talks. I was particularly impressed the by the young cohort who projected such enthusiasm into their pre-recorded talks.
#apsdfd2020 is virtually wrapping up. What did I learn? Lip balm is a mitigator for #Covid19. How to efficiently mix particles into liquids at #kitchenflows and why a coffee stain is left in a ring when you spill. So many reduced-order approximations related to flow separation.
While many drag laws exist for particles at finite volume fraction and Reynolds number, the effect of gas-phase compressibility on drag in dense suspensions is much less known. Check out Mehdi's #apsdfd2020 talk on this topic (Y07:2)!
So #apsdfd2020 "in" Chicago is over. Congrats to the organisers for all their hard work and producing the best conference they could in the unprecedented circumstances, but I really missed to f2f contact and accidental meetings in corridors and bars! @APSphysics @APSMeetings
Thank you to our @JFluidMech@flow_journal supporters for attending our virtual workshop #APSDFD#APSDFD2020. Please do send us your papers, 30% books discounts remain available and #MMFO Multimedia Fluid Mech Online is very good for teaching your students about Fluid Mechanics.
