FSI @ RiverFest 2017

Fluid Structure Interactions, alongside other parts of the University of Southampton, attended RiverFest 2017, part of Southampton Sailing Week on Saturday the  27th May.  The event was held in Riverside Park, alongside the Itchen River, with rain in the morning and lovely sunshine in the afternoon and evening.
It was designed as a day of music, theatre, science, games, crafts, talks & workshops. Bringing together artists, historians and scientists to share their knowledge of the river with us. The aim is to inspire the community to enjoy and protect the Itchen river into the future.
Estimates of over 4000 people attended the event across the whole riverside site.  FSI brought their Science of Ships display to demonstrate, hands-on, why ships float, sink and capsize.
