题目：Thermal convection under our feet and beyond
摘要：Thermal convection is ubiquitous in nature and can be found in our everyday lives. This subject has been studied by scientists and engineers for many decades, for its rich dynamics and vast applications. In this talk, I will discuss an experiment as a free-moving, floating boundary interacts with a fluid, which is heated from below and cooled from above. The floating boundary is mobile and thermally opaque (poor conductor), causing the coupled system to oscillate in space and time. The underlying mechanism is similar to what has been powering the geophysical process of continental drift, as continents interact with the convective mantle of the earth. These results are explained and some new directions and phenomena (include the recent total solar eclipse in the US) that extend the classical picture of thermal convection are also briefly discussed.
张骏教授简介：
张骏教授是上海纽约大学教授，美国纽约大学物理系和数学系两系教授。本科毕业于武汉大学，先后在以色列希伯莱大学和丹麦哥本哈根大学攻读博士学位，获丹麦哥本哈根大学物理学博士学位，并在美国洛克菲勒大学从事博士后研究。1998年加入纽约大学，并在过去12年中一直兼任纽约大学柯朗数学研究所应用数学实验室主任。张骏教授的主要研究领域涉及流体物理及复杂系统，包括生物动力学/生物运动（生物的游弋、飞行与行走）、地质流体（热对流、大陆动力学）、固体摩擦、多尺度下的自组织现象等。 其研究成果曾发表在《Nature》，《Annual Review of Fluid Mechanics》，《Physical Review Letters》、《Journal of Fluid Mechanics》和《Physics Today》等期刊上。张骏教授2017年获选为美国物理学会会士（APS Fellow）。
