RUNNER-UP: Emily Southern (ICL) 'Koopman with control for constitutive law identification'

Poster presentation

WINNER: Amy Hodgkin (ICL) 'Do ambient shear and thermal stratification impact wind turbine wake breakdown?'

RUNNER-UP: Taihang Zhu (ICL) 'Simulation of turbulent axisymmetric bluff body wake with the effect of pulsed jet forcing'

The SPH Special Interest Group has organised a series of deep-dive talks. The first, by Dr Matthieu Schaller (25/8/21), was on the computational challenges of applying SPH to Astrophysics, and is available on the SIG's YouTube channel. Full details are on the SPH home page, link below.

The fifth of these workshops ‘Advances in geophysical and astrophysical turbulence’, is currently accepting applications: https://bit.ly/3toPhSX. Please see the links below for further details and to complete an application. Workshop details and application form: https://bit.ly/3BWbtXT. Programme overview: https://bit.ly/3BT6M0K
