Oral Presentation at the Rocky Mountain Fluid Symposium

August 8, 2025

I delivered an oral presentation at the Rocky Mountain Fluid Symposium hosted at the University of Colorado Boulder. My presentation focused on vortex–surface interactions, highlighting experimental methodology, free surface synthetic schlieren results, and key time-averaged observations on surface deformation induced by counter-rotating vortices. The symposium brought together researchers, graduate students, and faculty working in fluid mechanics, turbulence, and multiphase flow. The focused and interactive setting allowed for in-depth technical discussions and detailed feedback on experimental design and analysis.

Research Highlights

Presented experimental investigation of vortex interaction with a deformable free surface for two cases of vortex generation depth
Discussed instrumentation setup and measurement strategy
Analyzed time averaged surface response and flow structure evolution
Addressed experimental challenges and uncertainty considerations
Engaged in technical Q&A on vortex dynamics and free-surface coupling

Professional Development

Participating in the symposium provided valuable opportunities to:

Exchange ideas with researchers in fluid mechanics and applied mathematics
Gain feedback to refine experimental methodology
Explore emerging research directions in vortex dynamics
Strengthen technical presentation and communication skills
