Credit where it is due...this post manages both to diss Liverpool's achievements and have some interesting mathematics in it.
As Liverpool win the Premier League for the second time, they complete the opening of a quite remarkable sequence, 33 years in the making.

I went to see the amazingly talented Edith Pageaud play in Leeds last night. I was blown away both by her technique (which is awesome) and her musicality. Absolutely beautiful music. If you get a chance to see her - take it.

It's taken a while! We finally managed to show how to do Generalised Direct Statistical Simulation. Paper in Journal of Fluid Mechanics

Stretch-twist-fold is an important concept in chaos theory - and in MHD dynamos. A dynamo can only be a "fast" dynamo if there is Lagrangian chaos in the flow, so that stretching can overcome diffusion in the singular limit of small diffusion.
In today's lecture in my nonlinear dynamics and chaos course, I tried to give intuition for where chaos comes from. It's caused by repeated stretching and folding of phase space.

Today I shall be speaking at the APS DFD Memorial Meeting for Keith Julien in Salt Lake City. Keith was a brilliant mathematician and great friend who was taken from us way too soon. We miss him.
