Newswise — WASHINGTON, D.C., November 14, 2016 -- The physics of that which flows, swirls, drips, splashes, pours or otherwise relates to fluid dynamics will be at the heart of the research presented at this year’s 69th Annual Meeting of the American Physical Society – Division of Fluid Dynamics (APS-DFD), held in Portland, Oregon Nov. 20-22, 2016. The meeting is hosted this year by Portland State University, the University of Washington and Oregon State University, and features research presentations by scientists from around the world. The meeting also includes numerous workshops, focus sessions and the annual Gallery of Fluid Motion, which highlights the spectacular visual aspects of fluid dynamics with artistic posters and videos submitted by attendees.
Over 2,700 abstracts were submitted for the meeting, covering a wide range of fluid dynamics topics related to sports, forensics, medicine and much more. Journalists are invited to attend the event for free. A live media webcast featuring three newsworthy research presentations will take place on Monday, Nov. 21, 2016. Information regarding press registration and webcast times and topics is included below. For more information about the APS-DFD 2016 meeting, visit: http://apsdfd2016pdx.org/.
