A Short-Wave Instability

Welcome to the Virtual Press Room for the American Physical Society (APS) Division of Fluid Dynamics. The Division exists for the advancement and diffusion of knowledge of the physics of fluids with special emphasis on the dynamical theories of the liquid, plastic and gaseous states of matter under all conditions of temperature and pressure.

This page features stories and images related to the Division's annual meeting and other news related to fluid dynamics.

62nd APS Division of Fluid Dynamics Annual Meeting

The 62nd Annual Meeting of the American Physical Society (APS) Division of Fluid Dynamics takes place from November 22-24, 2009 at the Minneapolis Convention Center in Minneapolis, Minnesota, and it brings together researchers from across the globe to address some of the most important questions in modern astronomy, engineering, alternative energy, biology, and medicine.

Lay Language Papers

Lay-language papers are roughly 500-word summaries written by scientists about their own research. They are aimed at a general audience and posted with accompanying graphics and multimedia files. They serve as starting points for journalists who are interested in covering the meeting but cannot attend in person.

Image & Video Galleries

Every year, the APS Division of Fluid Dynamics hosts posters and videos that show stunning images, graphics and videos from either computational or experimental studies of flow phenomena. The most outstanding entries are selected by a panel of referees for artistic content and honored for their originality and ability to convey information

The 62nd Annual Meeting Image Gallery has a subset of these images and videos available for viewing prior to the judging process.
