Photographic essay

Photographic essay on fluid motion and/or particle phenomena in a living or working world

  • Assume you are a journalist writing an popular science article for an engineering magazine
  • Write on an example of fluid/particle mechanics research

? Practical (industrial/real/environmental) systems

? Living (biological) systems

  • Topic must describe flow and/or particle physics and must be one of current active research, i.e., it must be

? Novel (new science), or,

? Provide new solutions to existing problems

  • Non-specialist audience

? Can assume audience have some general familiarity with technical terminology (e.g., they know what surface tension is)

? But not necessarily have a specific background in fluid or particle mechanics

? Thus, any technical jargon needs to be explained (e.g., need to explain what a boundary layer is)

  • Photographic piece - use many colourful and visually stimulating images (credit given to creativity, originality and aesthetics)
  • Proper citation (i.e., attribution) for figures and text
