A spotlight on JFM Rapids, a well-established section in the Journal of Fluid Mechanics [JFM] that continues to provide a highly visible venue for short, high-quality, articles addressing timely research challenges of broad interest. In this collection, the Editors of JFM Rapids each explain why they selected one article that presents exciting results with exceptional impact on currently active fluid mechanics research.
The Covid-19 pandemic thrust mathematical modelling into the spotlight like never before. As governments around the world scrambled to respond to the crisis, infectious disease models became a crucial strand of evidence, allowing us to measure transmission and evaluate the likely outcome of alternative response options.…
In the following video, Professor Barton Smith of Utah State University explains his work on the fluid dynamics of a baseball pitch.…
Professor Colm-cille Caulfield, Editor-in-Chief of Journal of Fluid Mechanics (JFM) discusses his first published paper in JFM. Multiple linear instability of layered stratified shear flow Colm also give us insight into changes that have occurred in the publishing process, over the past 30 years.
Straws can make drinking easier, but modelling the flow in them can be hard; doing so successfully could help scientists across disciplines better understand a range of complicated systems.
Professor Colm-cille Caulfield, Editor-in-Chief of Journal of Fluid Mechanics (JFM) discusses his career. Colm discusses common themes in his research. As well as his favourite fluid type. Colm also give us insight into his favourite JFM paper, and advice for students and authors.
Suspended particles make fluid flows complicated. If particles are attractive, aggregates can grow and shrink dynamically adding another level of complexity. A recent Tutorial Review in FLOW breaks down the way researchers try to understand these systems.
Introducing a mathematical model for pedestrian dynamics that is based on social forces between pedestrians in exemplary hallway or crossing situations.
We were excited to hold the JFM/FLOW 2023 China Symposium in Hefei in July 2023
Professor Colm-cille Caulfield discusses his first year as Editor-in-Chief of the Journal of Fluid Mechanics (JFM). Colm discusses his expectations of being Editor of the journal, what helped him prepare to take on the role and what policies he is personally proud to be a part of steering.
Blues fans out there may be familiar with the Led Zeppelin classic ‘When the Levee Breaks’, but what about when the levee forms? In particular, how do natural levees form in such an organised and well-engineered process?
Moduli Managing Editors introduce the new open access mathematics journal owned by the Foundation Compositio Mathematica, published in collaboration with the LMS and Cambridge University Press.
Machine learning models, particularly those based on deep neural networks, have revolutionized the fields of data analysis, image recognition, and natural language processing. A key factor in the training of these models is the use of variants of gradient descent algorithms, which optimize model parameters by minimizing a loss function. However, the training optimization problem for neural networks is highly non-convex, presenting unique challenges.
Q&A with Luciano Rezzolla about his upcoming Cambridge Festival event
Pi Day is celebrated around the world on the fourteenth day of the third month (3/14). The date representation of 3.14 is the most basic ratio of the circumference of a circle to its diameter. We've collated the top 10 most read papers from 2022 in Forum of Mathematics, Pi for all mathematicians, from researchers to students.
