Resources

Some resources that will be useful throughout the quarter:

  • The videos: Here is a link to the online versions of the videos that we will be showing in the discussion sections. The films made by the National Committee for Fluid Mechanics Films are awesome: the content is VERY good and the old school style is hilarious!
  • Prof. John Hart's (University of Colorado) geophysical fluid dynamics demos webpage
  • Prof. Lim's (National University of Singapore) webpage (vortex rings)
  • Prof. Dalrymple's (University of Delaware) webpage (wave applets)
  • Aerodynamics of Roberto Carlos' curving free kick (football or "soccer")

 

Here's some fast access to some of the stuff that I have shown:

  • Vortex stuff!
    • Vortex propogation
    • Vortex collisions
    • Collision 1
    • Collision 2
    • Leapfrog
    • Vortex rings generated by swimming fish!
    • Vortex rings blown by volcanoes!
    • http://themetapicture.com/she-simply-drags-her-plate-along/
    • The crazy vortex video with teh horrible music is here "Extraordinary Toroidal Vortices"
  • Corliolis forces:  Prof. John Hart's Rotating air hockey video!
  • Taylor-Proudman:
    • High Rossby
    • Low Rossby (wire at middle)
    • Low Rossby (wire at top)
  • Boundary layer stuff:
    • Blasius boundary later solution
    • Flow around a cylinder
