• Understanding and control of particle formation processes: from nucleation fundamentals to continuous manufacturing

  28 May 2019, 13:00 - 14:00

  Abstract of the talk: Particle formation processes play key role in numerous environmental, biological and industrial processes. Particles can form through phase transitions, often involving nucleation processes, or by aggregation and assembly of molecular or particulate precursors. We focus on understanding of fundamentals of particle formation processes to enable design...

• How do planets maintain their magnetic fields?

  26 March 2019, 12:30 - 13:30

  Abstract: Despite over 70 years of concerted research, we still do not understand the detailed mechanism by which the planets maintain their magnetic fields. While all agree that such fields are examples of fluid dynamos, driven by strongly turbulent convection within the planet's interior, there is still no agreement as to...

• Uncertainty and Chaos in Shallow Flows

  07 March 2019, 13:00 - 14:00

  Abstract: Uncertainty (1350–1400 Middle English uncerteynte) involves a state of limited knowledge where it is impossible exactly to describe the present state and future outcome(s). Chaos (from the ancient Greek, Χαος or Khaos – the first of the gods) has several meanings. One, a state of disorder and confusion. Another, a...

• Global Warming: An Engineering Perspective

  01 June 2018, 15:30 - 16:30

  Global warming has been characterized as THE challenge of the 21st century, yet individual perspectives vary:  Global warming is not happening Global warming is happening, but humans are not responsible Global warming is caused by humans, but the impacts are negligible or beneficial Global warming is caused by humans, the impacts are detrimental, but...

  This year's Scottish Fluid Mechanics Meeting will be held at the University of Aberdeen on Tuesday the 29 th of May. This lively and informal meeting will showcase any and all aspects of fluid mechanics from across Scotland. We will have posters, as well as talks, in order to give...

• The hidden causes of volatile behaviour around non-smooth events

  23 May 2018, 12:00 - 13:00

  Abstract: There are three things vital to a good understanding of a system: analysis, simulation, and experiment. Finding agreement between these three might be difficult if a system is very large and complex, if it is very noisy, or if it contains nonsmooth events (like impact, switches, or discontinuous parameters). Obviously a large complex system might...
