Fluid Mechanics Journal Club

The Fluid Mechanics Journal Club (FMJC) meets once a week to discuss various topics relevant in the field of fluid mechanics. The club allows members to explore various topics of interest in an informal atmosphere. Topics for discussion will be chosen according to the interests of those who are involved. The FMJC consists of various activities including journal readings, student presentations, seminars, and various mini-lectures. Anyone interested in fluid mechanics is welcome to join. The Winter 1998 Quarter club focused on various aspects of geophysical fluid dynamics including the Boussinesq approximation, Rossby waves, internal gravity waves, and magneto-hydrodynamics. The Spring 1998 Quarter club discussed the classical formulation of turbulence. Currently, we are looking at various aspects of Quasi-Geostrophic (QG) Theory.

Meetings for Fall Quarter 2000:

Time: Mondays at 9:00-10:00am

Place: GUG 408-D, Amath Library

Topic: Quasi-Geostrophic (QG) Theory
