I am happy to share another manuscript from my postdoc work at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory that has been published in Physica D. In this, we explore how well probability density functions describe multi-component Rayleigh-Taylor mixing doi.org/10.1016/j.ph...

I need someone to explain to me why, on my bike ride to work today, I saw no less than three different people leafblowing dirt fields.

No trees. No bushes. No nothing. Just dirt.

Just to add my voice to the #ebike discourse (which I am very happy to see!) - I, like many I think, got a bit "fluffier" than I liked over COVID from staying home, and tending to drive when I did go out. I'd been gaining weight before due to a sedentary job, but COVID exacerbated it. 🧵

Hey #BikeSky (is that a thing?), I currently ride a Brompton electric. I've been debating trading up to a Tern cargo bike. Brompton is nice since it folds so small and can be taken anywhere, but I definitely sometimes wish for the cargo capacity for groceries and etc. Any opinions?

The folks at #JournalOfFluidMechanics have been hard at work getting articles typeset! I am very happy to share a second #JFM paper, this one arising from my postdoc work at #LLNL doi.org/10.1017/jfm....

It's nice to see some of the academic groups popping back up on here. Hopefully bluesky gets a more active fluids/turbulence group going!

Start my new job in just one week. Super nervous about the change but hopefully it'll bring me closer to doing the things I want to do 👀👀👀👀
