- Our large-test-section water tunnel is now up and running (See it here).
- Our work on VIV of flexible cylinders is published in PRL (Abstract).
- A course on Fluid-Struture Interactions (MIE 597F) was offered in Spring 2011. This course will be offered on a biennial basis.
- An earlier version of our mechanical fish (built at MIT) was featured in the New Scientist.
