Fluid flows subject to time-dependent external forces or boundary conditions are ubiquitous in aeronautical applications. Whether one considers pitching wings, dynamic stall or the gust response of wind turbines, the flow is unsteady or non-autonomous. We investigate the influence of unsteadiness on the non-linearflow evolution, as well as on the linear response to small disturbances that determines their stability and the subsequent transition to turbulence.

Ocean alkalinity enhancement (OAE) is a specific ocean CDR approach that can locally reverse ocean acidification and draw additional CO2 from the air into oceanic bicarbonate where it is stored for over10,000 years, mimicking the Earth’s natural mechanism for regulating the atmospheric CO2 concentration. In this talk, I will review the latest results from my group on electrochemical ocean alkalinity enhancement and describe the efforts to commercialize this technology at Ebb Carbon, Inc.

To create metallic scaffolds or microlattices with sub-millimeter strut architectures, we develop a new method, Extrusion 3D-Printing, consisting of two simple steps. First, metal oxide particle suspensions (inks) are extruded, in air and at ambient temperature, into linear struts creating self-supporting lattices. Second, the oxides are hydrogen-reduced to metal and sintered into dense metallic microlattices.
