60 seconds with... Kerry Hourigan - 28 May 2008, Monash Memo Professor Kerry Hourigan heads up the Division of Biological Engineering at Monash University, and has diverse experience in engineering and biological fluid mechanics research. Click for some insight into what makes him tick!
Greg Sheard features on cover of Physics of Fluids - August 2008 Taken from the article "Flow around an impulsively arrested circular cylinder" (Phys. Fluids 19(8), 083601, 2007), this figure compares a numerical simulation (top) with experimental dye visualization (bottom) for the flow around an arrested cylinder.
Sheridan, Lin & Rockwell - Most-read paper in Journal of Fluid Mechanics In May 2007, the paper "Flow past a cylinder close to a free surface", by J. Sheridan, J.-C. Lin & D. Rockwell, volume 330, 1997, was ranked as the most-read article in the Journal of Fluid Mechanics over the previous 12 months.
Bronwyn Stewart - Co-tutelle candidate - 2006, MRGS "Postgraduate studies in Mechanical Engineering have allowed me to explore an area of great interest to me while being part of a top quality Fluid Dynamics research team... Additionally, ... I was given the opportunity to enrol in a Cotutelle PhD which entails spending 12 months in France and graduating with a PhD awarded by Monash University and a Doctorat from the Université de Provence in Marseille."
Martin Griffith - Co-tutelle candidate - 2006, MRGS"I first found out about the Cotutelle program through my supervisors Professor Kerry Hourigan and Associate Professor Mark Thompson, when they wanted to start an exchange of graduate students in fluid mechanics with Thomas Leweke, a colleague at the Université de Provence in Marseille."
