  Meet USC: Admission Presentation, Campus Tour, & Engineering Talk

  Wed, Apr 13, 2011

  Viterbi School of Engineering Undergraduate Admission

  Receptions & Special Events

  
  

  This half day program is designed for prospective freshmen and family members. Meet USC includes an information session on the University and the Admission process; a student led walking tour of campus and a meeting with us in the Viterbi School. Meet USC is designed to answer all of your questions about USC, the application process and financial aid.Reservations are required for Meet USC. This program occurs twice, once at 8:30 a.m. and again at 12:30 p.m. Please visit http://usconnect.usc.edu/ to check availability and make an appointment. Be sure to list an Engineering major as your "intended major" on the webform!

  AME Department Seminar

  Wed, Apr 13, 2011 @ 03:30 PM - 04:30 PM

  Aerospace and Mechanical Engineering

  Speaker: Eva Kanso, Associate Professor, Department of Aerospace & Mechanical Engineering, University of Southern California
  
  Talk Title: Research Progress of the USC Nonlinear Dynamics Group
  
  Abstract: I present some of the recent research activities at the USC Nonlinear Dynamics Group. In particular, I highlight the work of Fangxu Jing (PhD'11), Babak Oskouei (PhD'11) and Adam Ysasi (MS'10). The underlying theme is fluid-body coupling and the locomotion of aquatic animals. Much attention has been given recently to understanding how aquatic animals use fluid-body coupling to their advantage, thus achieving impressive maneuvers and hydrodynamic efficiencies. The approach of our research group is to investigate basic mechanisms by which idealized bodies swim in a perfect fluid. I discuss two types of locomotion: (i) active locomotion due to controlled body deformations, and (ii) passive locomotion due to energy harvested from ambient vorticity. I comment on the stability of motion in unsteady flows and conclude with the ongoing work of Andrew Tchieu (post-doc) on the finite dipole dynamical system as a model for fish schooling.
