  • Aspects of fluid dynamics and the fluid/gravity correspondence 

    Thillaisundaram, Ashok (University of CambridgeDAMTPTrinity, 2017-09-01)
    This thesis considers various extensions to the fluid/gravity correspondence as well as problems fundamental to the study of fluid dynamics. The fluid/gravity correspondence is a map between the solutions of the Navier-Stokes ...

  • Nonlinear and non-modal stability of structures evolving in shear flows 

    Daly, Conor Anthony (University of CambridgeDepartment of Applied Mathematics and Theoretical Physics, 2014-04-08)
    This thesis explores a range of stability techniques applied to fluid structures that develop in various constant density flows. In particular, the stability of nonlinear structures which develop in rotating plane Couette ...

  • Spreading of viscous fluids and granular materials on slopes 

    Takagi, Daisuke (University of CambridgeDepartment of Applied Mathematics and Theoretical Physics, 2010-11-16)
    Materials can flow down a slope in a wide range of geophysical and industrial contexts, including lava flows on volcanoes and thin films on coated surfaces. The aim of my research is to provide quantitative insight into ...

  • Turbulence ingestion noise of open rotors 

    Robison, Rosalyn Aruna Venner (University of CambridgeDepartment of Applied Mathematics and Theoretical Physics, 2012-04-10)
    Renewed interest in open rotor aeroengines, due to their fuel efficiency, has driven renewed interest in all aspects of the noise they generate. Noise due to the ingestion of distorted atmospheric turbulence, known as ...
