A robot that swims like a dinosaur, simulations of industrial mixing, and how to hide an object by controlling its wake – take a sneak peek at the latest in fluid dynamics research. Featuring interviews with researchers from the APS-DFD 2017 conference discussing their work on bio-inspired underwater vehicles, numerical simulations of boundary flow and controlling the wake produced by a flexible tail.
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.

The creation of robot athletes is a novel benchmark problem for techniques in artificial intelligence, machine learning, computer vision, and intelligent robotics. The goal is to develop intelligent robot systems that can participate in sports events following the same rules as humans.
Can we control tail biting in pigs without tail docking?
Tail biting in growing pigs is a serious welfare problem because it is painful and may lead to infections for its victims. It also leads to economic losses to farmer. These are good reasons for trying to find ways to prevent and control tail biting.
