I enjoyed attending the seminar by Jules Colas (Ecole Centrale de Lyon) in @poftwente The insights into wind turbine and wind farm noise propagation, particularly the role of atmospheric stability and topography, were fascinating. 🌬️⚡

Pleased to see my question included in PION 2024, NL's inter-university physics olympiad hosted by S.V. Arago @utwente.
“Find the slope shape that minimizes descent time for a frictionless ball under gravity.”

🌊 #FluidFriday - Tidal trees 🌊
Did you know the Qiantang River in China has the world’s largest tidal bore that creates stunning “tidal tree” patterns on the mudflats, as captured in this breathtaking video

I Enjoyed the talk by Keith Moffatt (@Cambridge_Uni, DAMTP), 2018 Fluid Dynamics Prize winner & George Batchelor’s PhD student, at @PoFTwente. Fascinating insights on:
1️⃣ Batchelor sleeve problem (low to high Re)
2️⃣ Spiral wind-up of vortex sheets.
