In an informative video made for the competition ‘Yo investigo. I am CSIC’

Understanding the motion of fluids is one of the main challenges in mathematical research today. One of the greatest difficulties is the appearance of turbulence. Javier Peñafiel Tomás, pre-doctoral researcher at the ICMAT-CSIC, is working on the study of this phenomenon. To do so, in his thesis, he proposes situations that highlight its properties.

In a recent video made for the 5th edition of the competition ‘Yo investigo. Yo soy CSIC‘, organised by the CSIC’s Postgraduate Department, Peñafiel Tomás tells, in an informative way and in less than three minutes, one of these situations that allow us to understand turbulence: sticking fluids together.

From all the videos entered, ten will be the winners. Two of them will be chosen for their dissemination during one month: the highest number of ‘likes’, views and minutes of viewing on YouTube, and their impact on the media will also be taken into account. The remaining eight will be selected by an evaluation committee set up by the competition’s organising body and the Vice-Presidency for Scientific and Technical Research (VICYT) of the CSIC. The prize will be an international or national mobility stay for each of the winning doctoral students.
