A new study compares neighborhoods’ walkability (degree of ease for walking) with local levels of air pollution and finds that some neighborhoods might be good for walking, but have poor air quality. Researchers involved in the study include Department of Civil Engineering faculty member Julian Marshall and University of British Columbia faculty Michael Brauer and Lawrence Frank.

The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) named a U of M-led consortium and two others to share up to $24 million for fostering wind energy development in the United States. Civil engineering professor and SAFL Director Fotis Sotiropoulos is a principal investigator on the project that also includes department faculty Joe Labuz, Henryk Stolarski, Roger Arndt, and Fernando Porte-Agel. The greater research group consists of faculty from the Institute of Technology, U of M Morris, Syracuse University, and Dakota County Technical College working collaboration with a consortium of industrial partners to help reach the DOE's nationwide goal of achieving 20 percent wind power by 2030.

Professor Roger Arndt and SAFL Director and Professor Fotis Sotiropoulos were recently named Fellows of the American Physical Society. Arndt received the honor "for his seminal contributions to our understanding of cavitation including inception physics, erosion mechanisms, noise and vibration and effects on turbomachinery performance; and for his outstanding contributions to research and education in aeroacoustics, hydroacoustics and hydroturbine technology." Sotiropoulos was elected a fellow "for seminal contributions in vortex dynamics, flow-structure interactions, and chaotic dynamics in civil, mechanical and biomedical applications." Election to Fellowship in the American Physical Society is limited to no more than one half of one percent of the membership. Election to APS Fellowship is recognition by one's peers of outstanding contributions to physics.
