Michelle Zandieh: 

Over the past 10 years our team has developed the Inquiry-Oriented Linear Algebra (IOLA) curriculum, designed for a first course in linear algebra typically taken by students in the USA majoring in a wide variety of STEM fields. An offshoot of this team has worked with undergraduates to develop two digital games, Vector Unknown (VU) and Vector Unknown: Echelon Seas (VUES).  

After a brief overview of the projects, this talk will look at examples of tasks and student thinking that allow us to reflect together about curriculum design choices. These choices range from (a) what experientially real setting to use for a task in IOLA, to (b) whether to use a paper and pencil task versus a digital game, to (c) the affordances and constraints of seemingly small changes made in game mechanics.

Cavitation is a ubiquitous and sometimes destructive, phenomenon. For instance, cavitation bubbles may interrupt water flow in plants or severely damage the surfaces of machines such as pumps and propellers. The so-called tribonucleation of vapor bubbles has been proposed to be responsible for the cracking sound produced by the manipulation of human synovial joints. To study cavitation up close we have developed an experimental setup where a sphere in water abruptly leaves a flat surface starting from a separation of only 10 nm.

Upon upward movement of the spherical surface, a cavitation bubble forms and develops branched fingers through the Saffmann-Taylor instability. Simultaneously, negative liquid pressures in the range of ∼10atm are observed. These large tension values occasionally lead to secondary nucleation events. The bubble sizes satisfy a predicted Familiy-Vicsek scaling law where the bubble area is proportional to the inverse bubble lifetime. The fact that creeping flow cavitation bubbles are more short lived the larger they are separate them from bubbles that are governed by inertial dynamics.
