Lianyue's and Ricardo's Fluid dynamics project

Hello everyone,
During the summer I had the opportunity to work with Dr. Wenbo Tang at ASU. Dr. Tang is a world renowned expert in the field. As so, he has been working on a project that determines the time it takes for particles to separate. We talked about the possibility of me taking part of that project and he agreed. During the summer I was able to implement various parameters with fortran and then being able to take that information and analyze it in MATLAB. While I was able to make progress in the project I could not finish it. For that reason Dr. Tang asked me if I would be interested in finishing it during this fall semester, I agreed. At the moment I find myself being able to figure out the times I can use MATLAB and when to meet Dr. Tang for the progress of the project. I am also working with Lianyue, another fellow math major. At the moment she is reading papers to get the knowledge and background on what constitutes my project. After she has finished reading the papers, I will show her how to code. Since she doesn't have a blog at the moment, she will put her progress below.


SUMMARIES OF PROPERTIES IN TURBULENCE

Our study are focus on understand vortices at a small scale and the trapping and displacement statistics associated. The flow experiment can not only directly obtain useful technical data, but also be a means to recognize the turbulent structure and develop a new concept and model of turbulence. Turbulent flow is a fluid state. When the flow rate is small, the fluid flows in layers and does not mix with each other. It is called laminar flow, also called steady flow or sheet flow. When the flow rate is gradually increased, the flow line of the fluid begins to undulate, and the frequency and amplitude of the oscillation follow the flow rate. When the flow rate increases to a large extent, the flow line is no longer clearly identifiable, there are many small eddies in the flow field, the laminar flow is destroyed, and there are not only the adjacent flow layers. Sliding, and mixing. At this time, the fluid moves irregularly and has a velocity which is perpendicular to the axial direction of the flow tube. This motion is called turbulence. The central problem is the statistical solution of the Navier-Stokes equation for the basic equation of turbulence. Due to the non-linearity of this equation and the irregularity of the turbulent solution, turbulence theory becomes the most difficult and fascinating field in fluid mechanics. Although turbulence has been studied for more than a hundred years, so far there is no mature precise theory, and many basic technical problems are not theoretically explained.

Hello everyone, these past two weeks I have been working on creating a MATLAB code to be able to place a marker or tracker on the fluid particles. With this tracker I hope to be able to follow its trajectory. If I can get my tracker code to work, then I should be able to implement this and track all of the particles in my simulation.

S-STEM Introduction and Project

Hello, my name is Ricardo. As one of the S-STEM Scholar students, I am very happy to be a part of this group. I am currently searching for opportunities as to what to do a research project on with an emphasis in applied mathematics. I have spoken with one of the professors at Glendale Community College in order to assist me with brainstorming ideas for this project. We talked about several areas where mathematics can be applied to, such as computing and number theory. I happen to find these two fields of particular interest. I've always been fascinating with what computers can do, and I think that it would be cool to learn about the mathematics that goes behind the programming to make them work. As far as number theory goes, I find it really cool! Even though at this moment I don't know much about it, nonetheless, I find it really interesting and wouldn't mind doing research to learn more about it. Actually, this is one of the reasons why math is my favorite subject. Wh

Hello everyone. This past Friday I attended the ASU open house mixer at ASU west. It was a really neat experience as I got to meet some of the ASU professors as well as some of the STRAIN scholars from other community colleges. I was able to meet Dr. Feng Wang, the professor in charge of the research project that deals with twitter and the trends that using such social media has on people's daily lives. She told how in the past she has worked with applied math majors along with computer science majors towards carrying out her projects. She told me to contact her, which I did, and we have arranged a time to meet and further discuss the possibility of me collaborating with her. I'm really looking forward to working with her, I think that it will be a good experience.
