Dynamics of quasi-two-dimensional turbulent jets
(University of CambridgeDepartment of Applied Mathematics and Theoretical PhysicsChurchill CollegeBP Institute, 2012-11-13)The study of quasi-two-dimensional turbulent jets is relevant to chemical reactors, the coking process in oil refinement, as well as rivers flowing into lakes or oceans. In the event of a spillage of pollutants into a ...

Instabilities and transport in magnetized plasmas
(University of CambridgeDepartment of Applied Mathematics and Theoretical PhysicsDarwin College, 2011-02-08)In a magnetized plasma, naturally occurring pressure anisotropies facilitate in- stabilities that are expected to modify the transport properties of the system. In this thesis we examine two such instabilities and, where ...
