AME Department Seminar
Tue, Nov 15, 2011 @ 10:30 AM - 11:30 AM
Aerospace and Mechanical Engineering
Conferences, Lectures, & Seminars
Speaker: Tony Maxworthy, Smith International Professor of Mechanical Engineering. Professor. Department of Aerospace and Mechanical Engineering. University of Southern California.
Talk Title: A Fascination with Fluids: Vortices and Vortex Breakdown
Abstract: The problem of the dynamics of long slender vortices, e.g., tornadoes, dust devils,
waterspouts, fire whirls, internal flow in rotating machinery, leading edge and trailing
vortices on lifting surfaces, etc, has been a fascination for me for close to 50 years. A
sequence of experimental studies will be presented, together with reasoned physical
explanations and related theoretical arguments, that attempt to bring some order to the
sometimes-controversial discussion that has swirled about the subject during that time.

Joint Seminar of USC Center on Public Diplomacy & Astani Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering
Tue, Nov 15, 2011 @ 12:00 PM - 01:00 PM
Sonny Astani Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering
Conferences, Lectures, & Seminars
Speaker: Prof. Massoud Pirbazari, USC Sonny Astani Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering
Talk Title: Safe Water for All Nations & Engineering Public Diplomacy CPD Conversations in Public Diplomacy
Abstract: The USC Center on Public Diplomacy is pleased to host Professor Massoud (Mike) Pirbazari and the student research team from his project, âSafe Water for All Nations (S.W.A.N.)â to discuss how environmental engineering and public diplomacy intersect at the most basic human needâwater. This talk will be led by Naomi Leight, CPDâs Assistant Director for Research and Publications.
Water, essential to humankindâs existence, is increasingly unavailable because of pollution, failure to develop conservation programs, and mismanagement of water resources. During the near future, water shortages could lead to conflict in many parts of the world. Water-related problems are global in scope, and although international bodies actively support initiatives to conserve and fairly allocate water, not enough is being done to address this critical topic.
With this conversation, the USC Center on Public Diplomacy launches its Water Diplomacy Initiative which will result in a number of academic publications on Water Diplomacy, a major conference on the topic in spring of 2012, a briefing in Washington, D.C., and continuing research activities addressing this critical issue.
During the conversation, Dr. Pirbazari and his team will present their research projects and how the S.W.A.N. project has addressed some of the most pressing water issues. S.W.A.N is an initiative that focuses on the improvement of drinking water quality for citizens of developing countries. S.W.A.N.'s goal is to provide comprehensive and visually based information so that people, at the household level, can treat their water, and in turn, improve their health and well-being.

Refreshments will be served.
This event is free and open to the public, however you must R.S.V.P. below.
Parking is available on the USC campus for $8. Please enter through USC Gate 3 at Figueroa St. and McCarthy Way and purchase parking for Parking Structure X.

iPhone and iPad App Development Workshop
Tue, Nov 15, 2011 @ 05:00 PM - 07:30 PM
Viterbi School of Engineering Student Organizations
Student Activity
Prep for the Mobile Hackathon by learning iOS with some of USC's faculty and staff. Learn how to utilize the new iPhone 4S to make some amazing. No mobile experience necessary, just come with a development environment set up (details to come on the Facebook page)and weâll get you off the ground running with iOS, no Objective-C experience necessary!
NOTE: iOS SDK is FREE for developers, and requires $99 ONLY when developers wish to release an app in the appStore or for a few other features. That's just to clear up some confusion.
