Research

There research activities in the group are centred primarily on topics in geophysical and astrophysical fluid dynamics.

A few topics of current interest include:

  • Rotating stratified vortex dynamics and turbulence
  • Stratified flows and internal waves
  • Stratospheric dynamics
  • Jets in planetary atmospheres and the oceans
  • Magnetohydrodynamical vortex dynamics and turbulence
  • Fluid flows in porous media
  • Mathematical constraints on fluid motion
  • Reduced models of geophysical vortex dynamics
