More about Flack:
A pioneer of photorealism and a nationally recognized painter and sculpture, Flack has been a part of more than 70 public commissions, solo and selected exhibitions, selected catalogs and public collections at places such as the Guggenheim Museum, Museum of Modern Art in New York, Metropolitan Museum of New York and the National Museum of Art in Washington, D.C.
Her colossal head of the Greek mythological nymph Daphne is a signature piece of UND\u27s campus-wide and downtown art collections. Daphne is one of two casts produced by Flack in 1996. It is constructed of cast urethane and tree branches and stands 70 inches high.
Flack has been a major figure in the art world and feminist movement since the late 1960s. At the height of her acclaim, Flack decided to take a different direction with her art and pursued sculpting.
Flack holds a graduate degree and an honorary doctorate from Cooper Union in New York City and a bachelor of fine arts degree from Yale University. She attended New York University\u27s Institute of Fine Arts, where she studied the history of art.
She was awarded the St. Gaudens Medal from Cooper Union and the honorary Albert Dome Professorship from Bridgeport University. She is an honorary professor at George Washington University and is currently a visiting professor at the University of Pennsylvania.
Flack has taught and lectured extensively around the world.
Among her public commissions are a Monumental Gateway to the city of Rock Hill, S.C., comprising four twenty-foot high bronze figures on granite pedestals; and Islandia, a nine-foot-high bronze sculpture for the New York City Technical College in Brooklyn.
Flack lives and works in New York City and East Hampton, Long Island

Skin-Friction Measurements on Mathematically Generated Roughness in a Turbulent Channel Flow
No full textEngineering systems are affected by surface roughness, however, predicting frictional drag has proven to be challenging. The present work takes a systematic approach by generating and manufacturing surfaces roughness where surface statistics, such as rms, skewness and power-spectral density can be controlled.
