'Cicada: a Heavy but Agile Flyer' is a fluid dynamic video submitted to Gallery of Fluid Motion in APS-DFD 2011. Comparing to other insects, cicadas can generate much higher lift to overcome their large body weight. The hidden mechanism may help in designing a Micro Air Vehicle (MAV) to carry large
This fluid dynamics video demonstrate the breaking of axisymmetry in the floating extensional flow of a non-Newtonian fluid.
We investigate the dynamics of inertia-gravity wave modes in 3D rotating stratified fluids. We start by deriving a reduced PDE, the GGG model, consisting of only wave-mode interactions. In principle, comparing this model to the full rotating Boussinesq system allows us to gauge the importance of wav
