Numerical Study of Slightly Viscous Flow
Flow visualization from Chorin's 1973 paper. Amazing how much things change in ~50 years.
Schlieren Optics
Refraction due to inhomogeneity in air is made visible by our single-mirror schlieren optics setup. The refraction can be caused by changes in the density, temperature, or pressure of the air immediately in front of the concave mirror. With a video camera and monitor, we can see warm convection currents rising from a candle flame or, alternatively, cold air sinking from a glass of ice water. The jet of warm air from an ordinary hair dryer is made dramatically visible.

Latest Neural Nets Solve World’s Hardest Equations Faster Than Ever Before
Two new approaches allow deep neural networks to solve entire families of partial differential equations, making it easier to model complicated systems and to do so orders of magnitude faster.

Friday Episode
Last Friday I had Josh Starmer on my show. He started StatQuest as an attempt to explain statistics to his former co-workers – who were all genetics researchers at UNC-Chapel Hill. According to Josh Starmer, they did amazing experiments, but they didn’t always know what to do with the data they generated. That was his job. But he wanted them to understand that what he did wasn’t magic – it was actually quite simple. It only seemed hard because it was wrapped up in confusing terminology and typically communicated using equations. He found that if he stripped away the terminology and communicated the concepts using pictures, it became easy to understand

Book of the Week
Advanced Algorithms and Data Structures
Advanced Algorithms and Data Structures introduces you to a diverse range of algorithms you’ll use in web applications, systems programming, and data manipulation. Chapter-by-chapter, the book expands on the basic algorithms you’ll already know to give you a better selection of solutions to different programming problems. In it, you’ll discover techniques for improving priority queues, efficient caching, clustering data, and more. Each example is fully illustrated with graphics, language-agnostic pseudo-code, and code samples in various languages. When you’re done, you will be able to implement advanced and little-known algorithms to deliver better performance from your code. You’ll even have the skills to design your own data structures to solve those cases when a custom solution is required.
