Joint Event OIST-Ryukyu Shimpo “Shocking Encounter with Ants”

Sunday, July 31, 2016 - 10:00
Conference Center Room1

This is a spin-off event of Ryukyu Shimpo’s column. OIST will hold a workshop hosted by Dr. Masashi Yoshimura (Economo Unit), Coordinator of an ongoing environmental observation network project “OKEON Churamori Project”. Participants will experience of collecting ants and observing them. Discussion with Dr. Yoshimura gives the participants the new way to see nature around us.

Speaker: Prof. Tamer A. Zaki (Johns Hopkins University)

(Title) Boundary layer transition beneath free-stream turbulence: Linear precursors of nonlinear breakdown

Abstract: The manner in which infinitesimal disturbances can cause organized fluid motion to become chaotic is an intriguing phenomenon. In addition to being of great theoretical interest, laminar-to-turbulence transition is of significant engineering importance due to its role in heat transfer, its influence on momentum mixing, and its effect on drag. In this work, we present complementary theoretical analysis and high-fidelity direct numerical simulations of transition to turbulence in boundary layers. The...
