Monday, 25 November, 12:45 - 13:45
Westin, Westmoreland Room
FREE TICKETED EVENT
Supported by: The Swanson School of Engineering and its Laboratory for Computational Transport Phenomena at the University of Pittsburgh and the Fluid Dynamics Research Consortium at Penn State University.
Organized by: Shelley Anna, Carnegie Mellon University, Martina Bukac, University of Pittsburgh and Ismail Celik, West Virginia University.
Students attending the meeting will have the opportunity to participate in a discussion with an expert on topics of interest. Each expert will host an informal discussion over a complimentary lunch. The luncheon will begin promptly at 12:45. Interested students must sign up in advance by contacting Shelley Anna at sanna@cmu.edu. Please write "DFD Student Lunch" in the email subject line, and indicate which expert you would like to be seated with. The experts and their areas of interest are as follows:
- William Layton, Department of Mathematics, University of Pittsburgh. Turbulent, multi-physics flows on complex domains, large eddy simulation.
- Yuriko Renardy, Mathematics Department, Virginia Tech. Mathematical theory of multi-fluid flows, droplets, and particles.
- Detlef Lohse, Chair, Physics of Fluids, Faculty of Science and Technology, University of Twente. Flow phenomena associated with bubbles, micro- and nanofluidics, and two-phase flows.
- William Ristenpart, Department of Chemical Engineering and Materials Science, University of California at Davis. Electrocoalescence of charged droplets, shear-induced deformation of red blood cells, electrically-induced aggregation of colloids near electrodes, and turbulent dispersion of airborne pathogens.
- Christine Hrenya, Department of Chemical and Biological Engineering, University of Colorado. Granular flows, gas-particle fluidization, and aerosol dynamics.
