University of Edinburgh (Scotland)
Department: Dandidrone Project
Position: Post-Doctoral Researcher (Multiple Openings)
Description: We are recruiting a postdoc at the University of Edinburgh (Scotland) to investigate the fluid mechanics of free-falling bodies in turbulent flows. The post holder will have specialist expertise in either computational or experimental fluid dynamics. The position is available on a fixed term basis for up to 24 months.
This bio-inspired project aims to investigate the unsteady aerodynamics of centimetre-scale wings to underpin the development of flying sensors that remain airborne transported by the wind. In the next decade, distributed sensor network systems made of small flying sensors, from dust-scale to insect- scale, will enable a step change in monitoring natural disasters and remote areas. They will contribute to protecting the environment by providing data on the contamination of physical and biological systems and on the impact of human activities. To date, a key limitation of this technology is that small sensors can remain airborne only for a few tens of minutes. By contrast, some natural flyers such as the dandelion fruit, travel unpowered for days and hundreds of kilometres. Our previous work (Cummins et al, Nature 2018, doi.org/10.1038/s41586-018-
0604-2), revealed that the dandelion adopts a highly porous wing to form a separated vortex ring and decrease its terminal velocity. However, the aerodynamics of the free-falling dandelion while transported in a turbulent wind remains mostly unexplored. This five-year project aims to unveil the underlying fluid mechanics mechanisms that allow the dandelion and similar bodies to remain airborne scavenging wind energy. Read more on the Dandidrone project at voilab.eng.ed.ac.uk/
dandidrone. The post holder will join a team of two postdocs (Research Associates) and four PhD students working within the same project and will undertake either computational fluid dynamics simulations with OpenFOAM of free-falling bodies, or particle image velocimetry of free-falling bodies in a bespoke vertical wind tunnel.

Metastability and Tipping in Complex Systems
Description: On 3-5 September 2024 the University of Leicester will host the international conference "Metastability and Tipping in Complex Systems”. The event is partially supported by the London Mathematical Society (www.lms.ac.uk). We invite submission of abstracts for oral and poster presentations. The participation of graduate students and early career researchers is particularly encouraged.
Many complex systems are metastable: they possess states that are typically long-lived but between which the system may switch spontaneously, e.g. through noise-induced transitions between coexisting attracting states or due to transient phenomena. Identifying transient metastable states and anticipating critical transitions (tipping) has become a key research focus in applied mathematics, driven by the need for advanced techniques to meet today's societal challenges. The goal of this conference is to exchange recent results in mathematics and its applications around the theory of metastability for complex systems. Bringing together an interdisciplinary community of experts, we seek to explore different definitions of metastability that account for its rich phenomenology. This includes the emergence of metastability from adding noise to dynamical systems exhibiting multistability (i.e. featuring multiple competing attractors), but also the view of long transient behaviour as a convincing mathematical description of metastable dynamics. A particular focus will be on advances that go beyond common assumptions which restrict our understanding of real phenomena, such as non-autonomous, non-equilibrium dynamics and non-Gaussian noise.
We invite contributions on a wide range of topics from large deviation theory, exit problems, transition path theory, rare event sampling and numerical techniques to chaos theory, stochastic differential equations, stochastic processes and early-warning indicators. Fostering the interaction between pure mathematical research and applications, we seek to connect areas like climate, ecology, power systems, biophysics, materials science and data science.Link: Metastability and Tipping in Complex Systems

PRFluids Journal Club
Description: The Physical Review Journal Club returns on June 24th with a discussion with author Saurabh Nath (MIT) discussing their recently published Physical Review Fluids paper "Expediting viscous spreading with liquid-infused solids".
The spreading of liquids on surfaces is a ubiquitous fluid mechanics phenomenon, seen both in the natural world (e.g. rain drops) and in industry (e.g. printing or coating). A lot of recent research activity has been devoted to understanding how textured surfaces affect the dynamics of liquids impacting or spreading on them, as compared to classical work on simple flat surfaces. In their work recently published in Phys. Rev. Fluids, S. Nath and D. Quéré show how the use of textured liquid-infused solids can expedite the dynamics of spreading of viscous drops, when the subjacent oil layer is less viscous. They experimentally characterize the nature and amplitude of the effect, and the laws governing the spreading at short time. Their results confirm the universality of the early dynamics of viscous contact, found to hold for drops that coalesce, spread, or even slip on their substrate.
After the presentation of their work, Saurabh Nath (MIT) and David Quéré (ESPCI Paris) will be available to answer attendee questions in a live Q&A session moderated by Phys. Rev. Fluids Associate Editor, Emmanuel Villermaux (Aix Marseille Université & Institut Universitaire de France).

Campus Rainworks Challenge
Description: The Campus RainWorks Challenge is a green infrastructure design competition for American colleges and universities that seeks to engage with the next generation of environmental professionals, foster a dialogue about the need for innovative stormwater management techniques, and showcase the environmental, economic, and social benefits of green infrastructure practices.
“Green infrastructure” refers to a variety of practices that restore or mimic natural hydrological processes. While “gray” stormwater infrastructure is largely designed to convey stormwater away from the built environment, green infrastructure uses soils, vegetation and other media to manage rainwater where it falls through capture and evapotranspiration. By integrating natural processes into the built environment, green infrastructure provides a wide variety of community benefits, including improving water and air quality, reducing urban heat island effects, creating habitat for pollinators and other wildlife, and providing aesthetic and recreational value. See Green Infrastructure Basics
Stormwater runoff is a significant source of water pollution in communities across the United States. The Campus RainWorks Challenge invites students to be part of the solution today and in the future. Check out winners of the 10th round to see how green infrastructure can be used to better manage stormwater runoff, protect public health and water quality, and build resilient communities.
