Abstract: Airflow around airplane wings is characterized by a wide range of flow scales, making it highly challenging to capture numerically. From a simulation viewpoint, the following questions are still being actively investigated: Why do airplanes fly? Can one reliably simulate the lift and drag of an airplane wing? In this talk, I will provide no good answers to these questions. Instead, I want to talk about some interesting results I've stumbled into tangentially, including:
- (Nonlinear) kinetic energy instability analysis, also referred to as Reynolds-Orr instability
- Slip boundary conditions and their connection to D'Alembert's paradox
- Stokes' paradox and its connection to weighted Sobolev spaces. I will show numerical results computed for flow around a cylinder, which serves as a proxy for flow around an airplane wing. In particular, I will talk about the impact of the friction boundary condition on the drag force and flow stability. Finally, I will comment on how these results might be interpreted in view of: New Theory of Flight, J. Hoffman, J. Jansson, C. Johnson (2016), Journal of Mathematical Fluid Mechanics.

Artificial intelligence (AI) has a tremendous potential in healthcare and there are many ways AI can be used to treat patients more efficiently and accurately. Nevertheless, there are possible ethical issues and pitfalls that must be considered.

Late Lunch Talk by José Cerca
In BIOS1100 we noticed that many of the errors students make are abstraction errors (not working at the correct abstraction level or translating incorrectly between levels of abstraction), and there seems to be some evidence of this in the research literature as well.
One way to approach this as an instructor (experts often unconsciously work on several levels of abstraction simultaneously) is to be explicit about which abstraction level we’re working at and when we make a switch – not only to further students’ understanding of the subject matter, but also to teach abstraction as a concept.
