Slides from DFD ‘05 presentation posted
I just added the slides from my presentation at the 58th annual November meeting of the APS’s Division of Fluid Dynamics to my publications page. This is largely a modified version of the presentation I gave at the ILASS meeting last May.
Presentations at APS meetings are only 10 minutes long, instead of the 25 at most other conferences, so these slides are much tighter and more concise than the ILASS slides. I think there are definite advantages to the format; most of the presentations still seemed to contain all of the critical aspects of the research, and most of what seemed to get cut was excessive belaboring of points, and recitations of the same justifications and basic background that we’ve all heard dozens of times before. And, of course, it means that there’s time to see more than twice as many presentations in a day; when the conference packs over a thousand talks into a three-day block, that’s quite important.
One unfortunate thing about the APS DFD meeting is that the talks don’t come accompanied by papers that one can look up and read afterwards. For my presentation, though, my paper from the ILASS meeting covers most of the same results.
Oh, and at some point I’ll work out an appropriate Creative Commons license for this stuff. In the interim, if you want to borrow one of the slides or figures for something, just send me an email.
