The Imperial Festival of Science was back this year on the weekend of 7-8th of May. For the first time, the fluids CDT was there with exciting experiments to engage people of all ages. With the help of Dr Kilner and Professor Weinberg our colleagues Marco, David and Owen put together a fun and interactive stand.
The experiments included the display of fluids with different viscosities – water, glycerine and a mixture of the two – to show the phenomenon of vortex shedding.
Another fun experiment was the smoke cannon that produced smoke rings. Always fun to see mathematicians experimenting!
