Welcome to Hassan Masoud’s Complex Fluids and Active Matter Lab, where water tanks, glowing particulates, and mechanical fish lead Huskies to wondrous discoveries about the everyday flows, power, and potential found in natural locomotion. Swirling orange particles set in motion by a simulated school shed light on how collective movement impacts the system. It’s one of several research projects the lab conducts in fluid dynamics, experimental hydrodynamics, and transport phenomena. The lab combines reduced-order models and numerical techniques with simple experiments to study the interaction of flowing fluid with intricate, often dynamically changing structures.
