Report of GLOMAR PhD student Gökce Masur about her participation in the FDSE Summer School on Fluid Dynamics of Sustainability and the Environment at the University of Cambridge, UK from 27 August to 7 September 2018.
The FDSE Summer School is jointly organized by the University of Cambridge, UK, and Ecole Polytechnique, France. The programme covered wide variety of lectures including some core research and application lectures mixed with fundamentals of fluid dynamics. During the lectures before noon, we had opportunity to become familiar with different research fields and real world applications, which made the summer school full of diversity. The application lectures included building construction, turbines, flooding, granular flows, renewable energy and several more. In afternoons, there was experimental and computational lab sessions to test and analyse the lectures partially. While we had experiments of instability, internal waves, art and science, plumes and so on, in the computational lab, we worked on big ocean circulation model, buoyancy effect, shear flows and several distinct projects that we can study depending on our own interest. Besides all those, we also presented our own work by our poster in the first day of the summer school. The programme finished with our project presentations in a group and the exhibition of our experiments for art and science.
Not only science but we also had time to enjoy barbecue party, a formal conference dinner, and nature and history of Cambridge. I definitely suggest this summer school for ones who wants to get some idea for other research fields in fluid dynamics.
