WHOI has a long and storied history of being a world leader in AOD (or geophysical fluid dynamics, GFD) experiments and an annual GFD Program. More details about the WHOI GFD Program can be found here: <a href=\"https:\/\/gfd.whoi.edu\/\">https:\/\/gfd.whoi.edu\/<\/a>.<\/p>\r\n<p>Our research group is heavily involved in the DIYnamics project, which is a multi-institutional effort funded by the National Science Foundation focusing on bringing affordable ($100-200) rotating fluid tank apparatuses to K-12 and college classrooms. For more information about the DIYnamics project, please see the <a href=\"https:\/\/diynamics.github.io\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">DIYnamis GitHub page<\/a>.<\/p>\r\n<p>In addition to using more affordable tank apparatuses in dynamics course at ISU, our group built a DIYnamics 34-inch wide rotating tank that sits on top of rolling cart (the Taylor-Henry Cart, THC), making it easily transportable, while at Iowa State University. We used the DIYnamics THC rotating tank system to conduct hands-on experiments with middle and high school students in Central Iowa through the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.biotech.iastate.edu\/RET\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Research Experiences for Teachers program<\/a> (funded by the National Science Foundation).<\/p>\r\n<p>Below are some photos and videos of rotating tank experiments using DIYnamics&#8217; affordable apparatus.
