Check out our last article in Physics of Fluids. It has been selected as an Editor’s Pick ( https://aip.scitation.org/topic/collections/editors-pick?SeriesKey=phf ). We show 3D LES numerical simulations of a rigid plate near the free surface. You can download it at:

We have a position for a PhD student. See the details in the link below.
In our last work published in Physics of Fluids, we describe the drag reconfiguration process on elastic plates near the free surface.

We uncover the effects of locally altering the tip region of a periodic flapping fin system, by using a low order robotic model and detailed loads, motions and wake measurements. We show how the actuation of this region can largely modify propulsive performance and how important is the phase difference between the fin and the tip. #FluidDynamics #BioInspiredDesign
A new article has been published in JFS, dealing with the VIV of tandem cylidners. You can download it here: https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jfluidstructs.2019.04.006 
I am very happy to start my new role as an Associate Editor for the Journal of Fluids and Structures. Looking forward to contribute to the reference journal in fluid-structure interaction from the Laboratory for Fluid-Structure Interaction @UniversitatURV
