• Chee Wee discussed experiments with dipole
    • verify that the dipole oscillator is working with large piezo-electric sensor
    • signal output becomes erratic at lower frequencies (below 40 Hz)
    • results similar to those from loud speaker experiments
  • Remi discussed simulations of beams in fluid flow
    • future work will include investigating a beam with varying bending stiffness along its length
  • Pablo discussed plans for experimental wake detection
    • plan is to start experiments around the end of May
  • 3 hour meeting planned in Singapore
    • 11am on June 2
  • Heather discussed forced vibration experiments
    • troubleshooting force data
    • continued forced vibration experiments in May here in Boston
    • plans to do PIV experiments in Singapore in June
  • Stephen discussed the manufacturing of the round 5 sensor
    • design of process flow complete
    • sensor will be ready beginning of June
  • Jeff discussed pressure sensors for the kayak
    • desired sensor (amplified honeywell sensor) has been selected
    • looking for a distributor in Singapore
    • these need to be purchased in Singapore
    • Vicente suggested investigating a pressure sensor block Scanivalve, which has been used in wind tunnel turbulence experiments
      • up to 80 tubes connect to block to measure pressure
  • Vicente
    • wrapping up thesis writing
  • James discussed changes to the rotating cylinder experiment apparatus
    • flexure couplings for shaft alignment
    • tensioning pulley
