The 35th Australian Colloid and Surface Science Student Conference will be held at the University of Melbourne from Tuesday 28th January - Friday 31st February 2025. More details here: https://lnkd.in/dH7-7bZy Abstract submissions are now open, and registration will be open asap. We encourage PhD students with an interest in colloid andinterface science to attend as it is a great opportunity to present your work in an informal, supportive and friendly environment. ECRs and staff are also strongly encouraged to attend and support the community.

Our commissioned report "Riding the wave: The value of fluid mechanics to Australasia" is out today! AU$34 billion of annual revenues across Australia and New Zealand depend on this critical discipline. Read the full report here: https://lnkd.in/gpNXcNAU

Happy to present my latest research at #AFMC2024 in Canberra next week! This fundamental turbulent boundary layer experimental study provides a new understanding of the APG TNTI at high friction Reynolds numbers, with possible implications for atmospheric turbulent boundary layers. The findings are particularly relevant given the increasing heights of wind turbines, where transitions between laminar/non-turbulent and turbulent flows are becoming more likely. 𝗗𝗮𝘁𝗲/𝗧𝗶𝗺𝗲: Next Monday at 2:00 PM 𝗦𝗲𝘀𝘀𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗖𝗵𝗮𝗶𝗿: Prof. Jason Monty The article will be accessible to a wider audience following the conference. I’m looking forward to engaging in discussions and collaborating with fellow researchers! Special thanks to my supervisors for their unwavering support: Dr. Wagih Abu Rowin, Dr. Rahul Deshpande, and Prof. Ivan Marusic #FluidDynamics #TNTI #HighReynoldsNumbers #PIV #ExperimentalResearch #BoundaryLayers

Do you want to help shape Fluid Mechanics in Australia and New Zealand? Nominations are open for the Australian Fluid Mechanics Society council - nominate yourself or a colleague! Open to all members of the AFMS. 8 council members (including one student member) and 4 executive positions are open. Send a 50-word biography and statement, see https://lnkd.in/gdYpJkRE

We all make plunging jets daily - pour water into a glass or kitchen sink, and you'll make one. The splashy, gurgly sound you hear is due to the formation of bubbles. In this paper, https://lnkd.in/gDcta8mZ , we uncover the relation between sound level and bubble size in a plunging jet. This might be useful in acoustic analyses of industrial aeration and oceanic CO2 absorption.

Stunning entries from our 2nd/3rd year engineering students at The University of Western Australia in the 2024 Annual Fluid Mechanics Photography & Video Competition (in the lead-up to the Australasian Fluid Mechanics Society version). Congratulations to the prizewinners: 1st – Clara Moody (the Crown Splash Demon in red) 2nd – Benjamin Fleay (the Kaye effect on an incline) 3rd – Jess Hull (corrugated water sheet under a car tyre + Rayleigh-Plateau instability) + Samson Offer (golf ball flow separation), Zain Talpur (honey rope coils), Lily Tuckwell (fireworks in a glass), Ophelia Keating (droplet splashes in pink and blue), Natnael mehari (wake vortices behind a hemisphere) and Jake Barnett (inverted whirpool/tea leaf paradox) (Clara joins recent prize-winners Oliver Moran, Laura Ford, Joshua Saari, Samuel Morris, Justin Doogan, Emily P., Armin Hosseini and Samantha Baron) Student Environmental Engineering Club (SEEC), The Civil Society UWA and AusIMM UWA Student Chapter - this is a great reflection of your members' #fluidmechanics abilities! Tim Sercombe, UWA Coastal and Offshore Research Lab, The UWA Oceans Institute, Christophe Gaudin, UWA Grand Challenges - a great showcase of the capabilities of UWA Engineering students! Thanks to judges (and amazing tutors): Lochlan Lee-Perkin, Oliver Moran Sina Pinter, Allan Williams and Michael Peterson.

FYI, submission of abstracts (expression of interest) for the 1st International Symposium on #AI and #FluidMechanics and registration are now open. The event will take place in the city of Chania, Greece, from 27-30th May 2025. Details on the website at https://aifluids.net/

Students - a chance for a $$$ in the AFMS photo and video competition, being run as part of the Australasian Fluid Mechanics Conference! Showcase your fluid mechanics with photos and videos! Details in the attached flyer.
