Francesca Siracusa and Marion James, PhD students at the Fluid-Structure Interaction group, went to Glasgow on the 26-28th August 2015 to attend the 9th International Workshop on Ship and Marine Hydrodynamics. Several countries were represented including a large community of researchers from Asia thanks to the workshop roots.
Francesca presented her first conference paper on 2D flow around stationary side-by-side square columns at low Reynolds number. Marion’s work on transitional flow of spheres at the free surface.
