MIDWEST MECHANIC SEMINAR
Dissecting the Causality of Pressure Forces in Vortex Dominated Flows - From Fish Schools to Noisy Drones

Join us for an insightful lecture on the complex world of pressure-induced forces in fluid dynamics. We'll explore how these forces influence the performance of wings, rotors, and propellers, as well as their role in natural locomotion, such as fish swimming and bird flight. The lecture will introduce the Force Partitioning Method (FPM), a cutting-edge approach to dissecting these forces, and its applications across engineering and biological systems. Discover how FPM is advancing our understanding of vortex dynamics, flow-induced vibrations, and even aeroacoustic noise.
