Dept. of Mechanical Engineering Graduate Seminar

PRESENTATION: Our work is motivated by the need to understand and predict turbulent particle-laden flows across a range of environmental and industrial applications. In this talk, we consider a relatively canonical yet challenging experimental flow designed to be accessible to direct numerical simulation. A spherical particle in a turbulent boundary layer undergoes complicated particle-wall and particle-turbulence interactions. Particles with...

Join us for the Department of Mechanical Engineering's Spring Senior Design Night! See what our seniors have worked on for their research capstone projects. Everyone is welcome to mingle, network, and provide feedback on poster presentations.

Are you unsure which journal to publish in? Have you ever wondered how to identify and avoid predatory publishers? What is the difference between traditional publishing and open access? This workshop will provide answers to these questions and more, and you’ll learn strategies for navigating the jungle of scholarly publishing. Bring your own questions too! Presented by Kari Kozak, director, Sciences and Engineering Libraries.
