Researchers discussed fluid flow in oceans, atmospheres, and the metallic cores of planets. These topics have applications ranging from weather and climate on Earth and other planets to magnetism in planets and stars.
UCLA scientists showcased the unique fluid dynamics experiments underway at SPINLAB through interactive lab tutorial sessions. Workshop attendees examined SPINLab’s rotating magnetic convection device (RoMag) and conducted basic experiments on spinning fluids with tanks mounted on turntables.
