🌀 Turbulence: Finding Order in Chaos

It defines the shape of the cars we drive and the planes we fly on, yet it remains largely invisible. You can see it in the plume of a cigarette or your breath on a cold morning. Turbulence is all around of us but for many the word turbulence is largely associated with a bumpy flight. Neil will introduce you to the chaotic side of nature that remains one of physics greatest unsolved mysteries.

Dr. Neil Ashton discusses how our understanding of turbulence is enabling us to unravel some of the mysteries of nature. We learn how the flipper of a humpback whale inspired the look of one of the latest F1 cars, and why golf balls have dimples. By using some of the biggest supercomputers in the world, our knowledge of turbulence is bringing a new era of discovery.

🤓 Eighty Years of the Finite Element Method: Birth, Evolution, and Future

This document presents comprehensive historical accounts on the developments of fnite element methods (FEM) since 1941, with a specifc emphasis on developments related to solid mechanics. We present a historical overview beginning with the theoretical formulations and origins of the FEM, while discussing important developments that have enabled the FEM to become the numerical method of choice for so many problems rooted in solid mechanics.
