SUMMARY:It’s sink or skim: when solid bodies meet liquid layers - Ryan P
 almer\, University of Bristol

DESCRIPTION:An intriguing question connects the nostalgia of the childhood
  game of stone skimming and the practical industrial problem of aircraft i
 cing – what makes for a good skimmer? More formally\, what properties of
  the solid body and its interaction with the liquid layer determine a succ
 essful skimming motion? For stone skimming the goal is the personal satisf
 action of a several skims\, whilst for industry the aim is to understand h
 ow particles skim and prevent ice build-up on aircraft. To this end we con
 sider several aspects of fluid-body skimming interactions to try and bette
 r understand this complex fluid dynamic process. Focussing on smooth curve
 d and heavy bodies\, I will present several key insights gained from both 
 analytical and numerical investigations that help to shed light on the und
 erlying physics.
