About

The Splash Lab seeks to unravel the physical mechanisms of fluid behaviors, through a novel 3D volumetric measurement method known as Synthetic Aperture Imaging and imbedded instrumentation (e.g., accelerometers, etc). We experimentally analyze fluid systems such as fluid-structure interactions, multi-phase flows, and free surface phenomena.  Topics have included the skipping behavior of elastic spheres, mitrication dynamics, Tour de France collective behavior, cavitation by acceleration, and water transport in desert mosses to name a few. Most of our projects are fun and interesting as we try to make them accessible to the public through high quality photography and video production!

Seeking PhDs, Post Docs and Research Scientists

Our lab has recently moved to King Abdullah University of Science and Technology (KAUST). We are currently looking for passionate motivated Ph.D. candidates.  Learn more about opportunities in our lab by clicking on the image on the left.  If you are interested in applying, please contact us (Tadd dot truscott at kaust dot edu dot sa).
