[1/2] If we threw a bunch of particles in the ocean how long will it take them be become fully mixed across the globe? Our new paper @NatureComms tackles the initial step of the process: turbulent pair dispersion. Our theory and experiments reveal

MyPTV keeps improving and its exciting! Here is another turbulent flow tracked in our lab.

@Garrulous_sofen The openPIV code is available on GitHub - highly recommended, though as with any opev source stuff you might need to get your hands on the code to use it efficiently :)

@PhilipYecko YES :)

Vortex induced vibrations is a serious problem in #MechanicalEngineering. Baker Hariri is studying how shedding vortexes and #turbulence makes structures oscillate in the #FlumeFriday he built in our lab. Check out his vortexes 🤩

A fantastic lecture by Prof. Babinsky, highly recommended

Vortex stretching 🌪️ is thought to be a key mechanism by which turbulence passes kinetic energy down the turbulence cascade. Here is a vortex being stretched in our lab.

@minotauronlucy Sounds interesting. Is there a paper?

@minotauronlucy Thanks :) In PTV, I find there are many sensitive steps that need to align for it to work which is challenging - especially at high densities. If your looking for tips feel free to drop me an email.

@JFluidMech @alexlib Thanks :)

MyPTV, our open source 3D particle tracking code has a new release, with numerous updates and new and improved algorithms. Many months of work have paid off 😀 Check it out:
