Their stability and eventual breakdown influence wake dynamics, mixing processes, and overall flow performance. This seminar presents two recent studies exploring vortex stability and vortex breakdown.<br>\r\nPart I – Short-wave instability of a helical vortex<br>\r\nThe first part of the seminar discusses the short-wave instability of a helical vortex generated by a rotating blade. Combining experimental dye visualisations, numerical simulations, and theoretical analysis, the study identifies displacement perturbations whose wavelengths are small relative to the helix radius and pitch but may remain large compared with the vortex core size. Stability analysis based on experimentally measured vortex profiles reveals broad bands of unstable wavenumbers for several vortex bending modes. These results differ from predictions of existing theories for short-wave vortex instability. Similar instability modes are also observed in arrays of straight vortices, indicating that the phenomenon is not related to vortex curvature. A theoretical examination of the dispersion relation of Kelvin modes for the measured vortex profiles uncovers a previously unidentified family of modes associated with the specific vorticity distribution. Their non-resonant interaction through the strain field provides a plausible explanation for the experimentally observed instability features.<br>\r\nPart II – Two-phase wing-tip vortex breakdown<br>\r\nThe second part presents the discovery of a new flow feature observed in the wake of a rectangular wing in water: the breakdown of the wing-tip vortex triggered by the injection of air into the vortex core downstream of the wing. Experiments show that, for certain combinations of Reynolds number and angle of attack, a stationary air bubble becomes trapped within the vortex core at a finite distance behind the wing and can persist for several minutes even after the air injection is stopped. Under different conditions, the bubble may drift upstream or downstream, or it may disintegrate immediately. Measurements of bubble properties and vortex characteristics reveal that the breakdown behaviour depends primarily on the vortex circulation and on the axial flow component within the core. The formation of a stable breakdown bubble occurs only when a velocity excess relative to the free stream is present.<br>\r\nThe two studies highlight new mechanisms governing the stability and transformation of vortical flows, offering insight into the dynamics of vortex instabilities and vortex-core modifications in fluid systems.<br>\r\n<br>\r\n<br>\r\n<strong>Biography</strong><br>\r\nThomas Leweke graduated from RWTH Aachen University in Germany in 1990 with a “Diplom” (Master) in Physics. He completed his PhD in 1994 at the Université de Provence in Marseille, on the experimental study and modelling of bluff-body wakes. After a post-doctoral stay at Cornell University on vortex instabilities, he joined the IRPHE institute in Marseille in 1996 as a CNRS Researcher and became a Senior Researcher in 2007. His research focusses on the experimental study of fundamental aspects of fluid mechanics, especially in vortex dynamics and fluid-structure interactions, with relevance to applications.

It involves both gathering through shared customs and exclusion. Some claim that inclusive communities do not exist. Recent history shows people more often unite through exclusion than inclusion. However, communities are not sealed. Philosopher Roberto Esposito explains that community ‘is not a property or territory to defend but a void, a debt, and a gift to others’, reminding us of our otherness.<br>\r\n<br>\r\nThis lecture series explores the topic of community through architecture. How does architecture explore, define, or enable communities? Can architects collaborate directly with communities, bypassing institutional entities? How can design convey a collective experience? Seven emerging and established architectural figures respond to these questions through their work, which spans film, exhibitions, and communitarian buildings.<br>\r\n<br>\r\nSave the dates and join us on Tuesday evenings!", "image_description": "", "creation_date": "2026-02-06T16:52:02", "last_modification_date": "2026-02-09T11:15:16", "link_label": "", "link_url": "", "canceled": "False", "cancel_reason": "", "place_and_room": "Foyer SG", "url_place_and_room": "https://plan.epfl.ch/?room==SG%20294.22", "url_online_room": "", "spoken_languages": [ "https://memento.epfl.ch/api/v1/spoken_languages/1/?format=api", "https://memento.epfl.ch/api/v1/spoken_languages/2/?format=api" ], "speaker": "<a href=\"https://www.maio-architects.com/\">MAIO, Anna Puigjaner</a>", "organizer": "<a href=\"https://www.epfl.ch/schools/enac/education/architecture/\">EPFL Architecture</a>", "contact": "<a href=\"mailto:[email protected]\">[email protected]</a>", "is_internal": "False", "theme": "", "vulgarization": { "id": 1, "fr_label": "Tout public", "en_label": "General public" }, "registration": { "id": 3, "fr_label": "Entrée libre", "en_label": "Free" }, "keywords": "school lecture series", "file": null, "icalendar_url": "https://memento.epfl.ch/event/export/119612/", "category": { "id": 1, "code": "CONF", "fr_label": "Conférences - Séminaires", "en_label": "Conferences - Seminars", "activated": true }, "academic_calendar_category": null, "domains": [], "mementos": [ "https://memento.epfl.ch/api/v1/mementos/1/?format=api", "https://memento.epfl.ch/api/v1/mementos/4/?format=api", "https://memento.epfl.ch/api/v1/mementos/6/?format=api", "https://memento.epfl.ch/api/v1/mementos/32/?format=api" ] }, { "id": 64749, "title": "BRIDGE Discovery: 10th call", "slug": "bridge-discovery-10th-call", "event_url": "https://memento.epfl.ch/event/bridge-discovery-10th-call", "visual_url": "https://memento.epfl.ch/image/26583/200x112.jpg", "visual_large_url": "https://memento.epfl.ch/image/26583/720x405.jpg", "visual_maxsize_url": "https://memento.epfl.ch/image/26583/max-size.jpg", "lang": "en", "start_date": "2026-04-28", "end_date": "2026-04-28", "start_time": null, "end_time": null, "description": "<p>BRIDGE is a joint programme conducted by the Swiss National Science Foundation (SNSF) and Innosuisse, the Swiss Innovation Agency.

During the workshop, we will review and explain the main steps of a machine learning-based computer vision project, from problem definition to image acquisition, annotation, training, validation, and inference. We will illustrate these steps in a practical way, by building a real computer vision application together until we can run it live on a camera. Along the way, we will discuss important concepts (data drift, overfitting, data augmentation) and observe how they manifest themselves in practice. We will also share tips and tricks to help you tackle your own computer vision challenges.<br>\r\n<br>\r\n<strong>Prerequisites:</strong><br>\r\nBasic familiarity with Python, image analysis, and machine learning concepts is desirable, but not strictly necessary.<br>\r\n<br>\r\n<strong>Level:</strong> <br>\r\nBeginner / Intermediate<br>\r\n ", "image_description": "", "creation_date": "2026-01-30T11:40:06", "last_modification_date": "2026-01-30T11:40:06", "link_label": "Registration", "link_url": "https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSc1NukuuzIzzMnbDZkfudvj1M7wDJY6JeWQKoQrcl1ZIVFcUw/viewform?usp=header", "canceled": "False", "cancel_reason": "", "place_and_room": "CE 1 711.2", "url_place_and_room": "https://plan.epfl.ch/?room==CE%201%20711.2", "url_online_room": "", "spoken_languages": [ "https://memento.epfl.ch/api/v1/spoken_languages/2/?format=api" ], "speaker": "<a href=\"https://people.epfl.ch/mallory.wittwer?lang=en\">Mallory Witwer</a>", "organizer": "<a href=\"https://imaging.epfl.ch/\">Center for Imaging</a>", "contact": "<a href=\"https://people.epfl.ch/cecilia.carron?lang=fr\">Cecilia Carron</a>", "is_internal": "False", "theme": "", "vulgarization": { "id": 1, "fr_label": "Tout public", "en_label": "General public" }, "registration": { "id": 1, "fr_label": "Sur inscription", "en_label": "Registration required" }, "keywords": "", "file": null, "icalendar_url": "https://memento.epfl.ch/event/export/119528/", "category": { "id": 1, "code": "CONF", "fr_label": "Conférences - Séminaires", "en_label": "Conferences - Seminars", "activated": true }, "academic_calendar_category": null, "domains": [], "mementos": [ "https://memento.epfl.ch/api/v1/mementos/1/?format=api", "https://memento.epfl.ch/api/v1/mementos/4/?format=api", "https://memento.epfl.ch/api/v1/mementos/5/?format=api", "https://memento.epfl.ch/api/v1/mementos/6/?format=api", "https://memento.epfl.ch/api/v1/mementos/8/?format=api", "https://memento.epfl.ch/api/v1/mementos/9/?format=api", "https://memento.epfl.ch/api/v1/mementos/284/?format=api", "https://memento.epfl.ch/api/v1/mementos/27/?format=api" ] }, { "id": 71609, "title": "The Abstraction Trap: Lessons from a Career in the Memory Trenches", "slug": "the-abstraction-trap-lessons-from-a-career-in-the", "event_url": "https://memento.epfl.ch/event/the-abstraction-trap-lessons-from-a-career-in-the", "visual_url": "https://memento.epfl.ch/image/32940/200x112.jpg", "visual_large_url": "https://memento.epfl.ch/image/32940/720x405.jpg", "visual_maxsize_url": "https://memento.epfl.ch/image/32940/max-size.jpg", "lang": "en", "start_date": "2026-04-29", "end_date": "2026-04-29", "start_time": "14:00:00", "end_time": "15:00:00", "description": "<div><strong><u>Abstract</u></strong><br>\r\nWhy do some foundational technologies advance rapidly while others seem frozen in time? For twenty years, production garbage collectors have remained remarkably stagnant—not for a lack of great ideas, but for a lack of the right abstractions. In this talk, I reflect on a career spent navigating the friction between theory and deployment. I will explore how high-level abstractions—from strict encapsulation to the \"workpacket\" model—catalyze the innovation necessary to disrupt an industry status quo. Using the MMTk framework as a case study, I'll show how these architectural foundations enabled the development of systems like LXR that significantly outperform the state-of-the-art. However, innovation is only half the battle. Drawing from recent experiences productizing MMTk for OpenJDK, Julia, and Ruby, I will reveal the hidden impediments to taking even the most promising ideas to production. I will discuss how decades of abstraction leakage in production codebases create a substantial barrier to entry for new ideas. I'll also discuss the difficulty of motivating adoption when a lack of appropriate methodology causes the true costs of incumbent systems to be underestimated or entirely misunderstood. While this talk draws on the world of memory management, it is not a talk about garbage collection. It is a reflection on the struggle to innovate within established fields and a roadmap for using foundational abstractions to clear the way for the next generation of software.</div>\r\n\r\n<div> </div>\r\n\r\n<div><strong><u>Bio</u></strong><br>\r\nSteve Blackburn is a Senior Staff Research Scientist at Google DeepMind, a professor at the Australian National University and an ACM Fellow.
