With cold weather and the Winter Olympics currently upon us, we bring you a special winter-themed video from JFM and FYFD. Featuring interviews with researchers from the APS DFD 2017 conference discussing their work on snow friction, granular flows and freezing bubbles.
This video is part of an ongoing series as part of a collaboration between the Journal of Fluid Mechanics and FYFD. Sponsored by FYFD, the Journal of Fluid Mechanics, and the UK Fluids Network. Produced by Tom Crawford and Nicole Sharp with assistance from A.J. Fillo.

Asia and the International Financial Institutions
In this post we examine Asia’s engagements with the international financial institutions-notably the World Bank (“the Bank”) and International Monetary Fund (“the Fund”). We begin with Asia’s participation in the Bretton Woods Conference and analyze the Bank and Fund’s involvement with specific countries across South and East-Asia. We argue that Asia’s dealings with international financial […]
Elephants, Kings, and Comparison, a Conversation with Tom Trautmann
We invited Trautmann to tell us why he writes about Indian war elephants, and how. He touched on several topics in the process: the value of analytical accidents, the recovery of lost knowledge systems, and the power and pluralism of human logics.
