How the Fluid Flows

Standing by a rotating tank, guest student Luisa Ottolenghi discusses how water flows down a slope with engineer Chris Lumping (left) and scientist Joseph Pedlosky, in the WHOI Geophysical Fluid Dynamics (GFD) Laboratory. Scientist Claudia Cenedese is hosting a GFD “open lab” event in WHOI’s Coastal Research Lab building on Saturday May 10, from 10 AM to noon and from 1 to 3 PM. The public is invited to see ten display stations, take part in hands-on demonstrations, and learn about waves, whirlpools, currents, and other features of the ever-moving ocean.(Photo by Tom Kleindinst, Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution)
