Rayhan Syed and Samuel Cavas presented a poster on transport of inertial objects in time-dependent flows (George Ho, B.Eng.'19 and Jialun Bao, EE'18 also contributed but were unable to attend the meeting). Skylar Eiskowitz presented a poster on electromagnetic phenomena in granular flows and also gave a talk on the Hall effect in a dusty plasma, stemming from a summer REU at the University of Maryland. Professor Luchtenburg and Professor Phil Yecko presented a talk on the role of inertia in transport in complex flows. Professor Yecko was also a session chair for Nonlinear Dynamics and Coherent Structures.
