Icing and Rain Effects on Advanced Air Vehicles: Physics and Mitigation Strategies
Department of Mechanical Engineering
PRESENTATION: Inflight icing and heavy rainfall pose significant hazards to aircraft and aero-engine operations, leading to aerodynamic performance degradation, propulsion efficiency loss, and increased risks to flight safety. This presentation introduces recent research efforts aimed at elucidating the fundamental physics of adverse weather interactions with aircraft and propulsion systems and developing effective mitigation strategies to ensure assured, all...
Integrating Fluid Dynamics With Virology: An Intra-airway Model for Inhaled Transmission of Pathogens
Dept. of Mechanical Engineering Graduate Seminar
PRESENTATION: While substantial research has focused on the spatial transmission of human respiratory ejecta, progress has been relatively limited in understanding how the physics of inhalation flow within an exposed subject's airway affects the local transport of pathogen-laden particulates, ultimately influencing infection onset. In the first part of this talk, Dr. Basu will present a pathogen-agnostic fluid dynamics model that explores...

Learn to Solder
Soldering is one of the most fundamental skills needed to explore the world of electronics. This workshop will help you gain a better understanding of electronics and be better equipped to create your own. This hands-on workshop is a standalone event. Taught by Megan Michaud.
Library Workshop: OrcID
ORCiD (Open Researcher and Contributor ID) is a persistent digital identifier to resolve the researcher's name ambiguity problem. Researchers are required to provide their ORCiD iD when applying for a grant or submitting an article for publication. Learn more about creating an ORCiD iD at www.iam.uiowa.edu/planter, linking your ORCiD iD to the University of Iowa, and adding your publication records from data sources (Scopus, CrossRef, etc.) to your ORCiD. Led by Carol Hollier, sciences reference...
