Flying snake wake visualizations

Vorticity field in the wake behind a snake cross-section at a Reynolds number of 2000 and 35-degrees angle of attack.

Flying snake wake visualizations with cuIBM

These animations show the vortex wake behind a snake cross-section (two-dimensional profile), obtained with full Navier-Stokes simulation. The solver is an immersed boundary method that uses GPU hardware, cuIBM (open-source under the MIT license). The cases shown vary in Reynolds number (Re=1000, 2000) and angle... Continue »

Everybody’s Flippin’ —An Update on the Flipped Classroom

Lorena Barba

Background The Boston University Center for Excellence and Innovation in Teaching (CEIT) offers a rich program of Teaching Talks (focused on pedagogy) and Teaching Tech Talks (focused on technology use). The Spring 2013 program included talks on course design, using learning management systems, group work in the classroom, etc. I was invited to host a CEIT... Continue »
