FLUID DYNAMICS PUT TO THE TEST IN 11 GREEN CHALLENGE The decision to participate and the deadline for submitting an abstract actually coincided, and with exams just around the corner, a half-finished experiment, and a report, Green Challenge was not exactly the extra burden we were looking for,” Thomas says. “But with the prospect of a fun day, a free Green Challenge T-shirt, and a barbecue party, we decided to write an abstract and to participate after all,” Thomas explains. “The preparations for Green Challenge were quite stressful. On the afternoon we had to prepare for the conference, we ran into computer problems, we had problems with the plan for our presentation, and, when the poster was finished, the printer played up. And even though the poster perhaps isn’t the most professional product I’ve made, we had to make do with it,” says Thomas. Caught by the atmosphere It wasn’t until the day of the conference that Emil and Thomas actually became aware what Green Challenge really is and what the day can be used for. “It was the first time we had to present a complex physical idea and at the same time sell it as something both feasible and useful,” says Thomas. “Emil and I had worked thoroughly on our project for six months, so we were seized by the atmosphere. We were therefore extremely proud, even though we came off to a bumpy start. And we were therefore also very surprised when we—in the afternoon at the end of the Green Challenge conference—were awarded a second place by the panel of judges,” says Thomas.
