This speaker event is virtual, but will be screened in PICS 534 with refreshments. Abstract: Equilibrium thermodynamics emerges from equilibrium statistical mechanics as the most likely behavior of a system […]

Abstract: Understanding the physical processes modulating the transport of scalars, such as heat, over very rough surfaces is essential for understanding the thermal environment of cities, how wind and solar […]

Abstract: The volume fraction phi for random close packed (RCP) spheres is approximately 0.64. It is well known that higher RCP volume fractions are achieved by using collections of particles […]

Abstract: Flow predictions in the stratified atmospheric boundary layer (ABL) are critical to a range of applications including energy meteorology, sustainability and resilience of the built environment, and wildfire management. […]

Abstract: Polymers are essential to a wide range of technologies, yet designing them with targeted structural and functional properties remains a grand challenge. A major opportunity lies in applying machine […]

Abstract: Superfluid helium is a peculiar liquid. For instance, it stays liquid even at very low temperatures (below 2K), it flows through narrow capillaries without friction, and temperature gradient makes […]
