tag:techtv.mit.edu,:Array/224978420 2008-03-11 11:54:31 -0400 chosetec An introduction to some flow visualization techniques used at MIT. These methods help us understand the fluid dynamics of natural and manmade systems. <p> I made this video to compile the sweet videos we've taken over the years. Otherwise they would just be sitting there, you know. </p><p> For more information visit: <br /><a href="http://www-math.mit.edu/~bush/fish.htm">Math Fluids Lab</a><br /><a href="http://scripts.mit.edu/~pekowiki/blaise/">Peko Hosoi's Group</a><br /><a href="http://web.mit.edu/fluids/www/">Hatsopoulos Microfluids Lab</a></p> 316 tag:techtv.mit.edu,:Array/224957640 2008-01-27 14:29:02 -0500 chosetec This video describes a small project by Brian Chan and Theresa Guo at the Hatsopoulos Microfluids Laboratory (Building 3, 2nd floor). It is a machine that flaps its wings and indicates the amount of lift generated. The data will be useful to determine how the force varies with a changing wing stroke angle, and thus help us design better flying machines. <p>Music by Seth Friedman </p><p>Advisor: Anette Hosoi </p><p> Animator, Director, Writer, Brian Chan <br />Engineers/Researchers: Brian Chan, Theresa Guo <br />The Hoverbot designed by Brian Chan, <br />built by Theresa Guo and Brian Chan. </p><p>To learn more about fluid dynamics research at MIT, please visit: </p><p>http://web.mit.edu/fluids/www/ <br />http://scripts.mit.edu/~pekowiki/blaise/index.php?title=Main_Page </p> 277 tag:techtv.mit.edu,:Array/224938740 2008-09-24 17:04:57 -0400 MIT News Office <p>The spike in this experimental image shows where a fluid is separating from the surface it is flowing past.
