This coming Monday, we are excited to have Professor John Lister deliver a talk about viscous fluids! And, do hang around for pizza and port/juice after the talk. Details as follows:
Title: Spreading Golden Syrup
Speaker: Professor John Lister
Abstract: If a tank containing 9000 m^3 of molasses collapses 50 m away from you, how fast do you need to run? What if it is 100 m away? I will solve this and other problems through an introduction to the equations of viscous flow, the lubrication approximation and self-similar solutions to nonlinear differential equations for events that start (or finish) with a catastrophe. Featuring golden syrup. No previous knowledge of fluids necessary.
Date: Monday, 21 October
Time: 7pm
Location: MR2, Centre of Mathematical Sciences
