Leeds Institute for Fluid Dynamics (LIFD)
@FluidsLeeds
LIFD is the Centre for Fluid Dynamics research and teaching at the University of Leeds
The UK is a world leader in fluid dynamics, a branch of science used to model the flow of liquids, gases and plasmas. A report from @fluidsLeeds and @UKFluidsNetwork says fluid dynamics contributed £14 billion to the UK economy in 2019. Find out more: leeds.ac.uk/main-index/new…

The government and @OpenAI have signed a new strategic partnership. This will improve collaboration in AI security research and explore investment in the UK’s AI infrastructure.
To move upwind, sailors pursue a zigzag course punctuated by tacking: rapidly switching the boat’s direction, which flips the sail into a mirror-image shape. Researchers have now analyzed when tacking yields the optimal shape—and when it doesn’t. go.aps.org/4o7cvcv
