This months topic: Experiments in Fluid Mechanics
University of Minnesota researcher Ed Cussler, whose quirky experiments have included filling a University swimming pool with a gooey concoction and then testing how it affects swimming speed and outfitting his own dog with artificial gills, will discuss how these experiments and others help us to understand the properties of gasses and liquids.
