The UNC Joint Applied Math and Marine Sciences Fluids Lab won the top prize — the Milton van Dyke Award, a coveted poster award — at the 68th annual meeting of the American Physical Society’s Division of Fluid Dynamics. Take a look at the poster gallery of fluid motion here.
The posters are judged for scientific and artistic presentation. UNC winners included co-authors Roberto Camassa, Dan Harris and Richard McLaughlin in the department of mathematics and Pierre-Yves Passaggia, a postdoctoral fellow in the department of marine sciences. The poster is titled “Variable Density Vortex Ring Dynamics in Sharply Stratified Ambient Fluids.”
“We have been trying to win for 15 years, and this truly demonstrates the interdisciplinary effort of the fluids lab,” said McLaughlin, the mathematics department chair.
