PhD projects: Projects in fluid mechanics are available. These will typically be a combination of theoretical (asymptotic) analysis and numerical methods. Please email me if you are interested in pursuing a project in this area.

Research topics

My research is primarily aimed towards trying to predict the behaviour of fluid flows by a combination of theoretical, numerical and experimental techniques. Recent work has covered:

• Geophysical fluid dynamics:
  1. Rotating flows
  2. Stratified flows
  3. Interfacial flows
  4. Particle-laden flows
• Nonlinear stability of flows
• Boundary-layer flows
• Exact solutions of the Navier-Stokes equations
• Non-Newtonian fluids
