We are grateful to receive funding from the ACS PRF to investigate how fibers and anisotropic particles reorient, bend, and sometimes clog in porous media. From microplastic transport to fiber-laden inks, we aim to uncover the physics behind their transport through experiments and modeling.

Engineer and photographer Harold Edgerton was born #OTD in 1903. He pioneered various forms of high-speed photography using specialized cameras, strobe lighting, and other techniques. You’ve probably seen many of the images he created! 🧪 ⚛️ 📸 Images: MIT; H. Edgerton

Edgerton seated on the floor amidst various pieces of photo and electronics equipment. He is wearing a white shirt, diagonal striped tie, and dark pants in this black and white photo. Various strobe lights are visible, ad well as an oscilloscope. There are cables dangling from large pieces of electronics. Edgerton is not smiling; he is just looking at the camera.A high speed photo of a bullet passing through an apple. The apple is mounted on a metal rod and the bullet has just exited the apple. There are large sprays of apple coming from the entrance and exit points. The apple is red, with a yellow patch around the stem which is pointed at the camera.Another well-known Edgerton photo of a bullet bisecting a playing card. The card is the king of diamonds, and it has been ripped in half along its width by the bullet passing through. The king is facing the camera.Edgertons famous photo of a splash of white liquid, probably milk, in a red bowl. The splash is shaped like a crown, with rounded blobs forming and separating at the end of the spikes. A small drop hangs in mid-air above the splash. It is not clear from the photo whether this is another drop falling down, or a small drop that was sent back upwards when the original drop hit.

Our new study, led by Philippe Gondret and Cyprien Morize (FAST Laboratory), part of Wladimir Sarlin's PhD, has just been published in Journal of Fluid Mechanics. It explores how impulsive motions generate waves. doi.org/10.1017/jfm.... @univparissaclay.bsky.social @univofmaryland.bsky.social
