APPM Department Colloquium - Jean Hertzberg

Event Description:

Jean Hertzberg, Department of Mechanical Engineering, University of Ä¢¹½Ó°Òô Boulder

Beautiful physics from ordinary fluids

Household fluids are capable of illustrating sublime physics, using very simple setups. Students in engineering and fine arts, enrolled in a course on flow visualization at the University of Ä¢¹½Ó°Òô, have employed common fluids from food coloring dyes to gasoline in an effort to create images of fluid physics that have impact and aesthetic appeal. Their images reveal a range of physics from the well-known to the obscure. Students were particularly interested in buoyancy, surface tension, and combustion.
