  • The acoustics of curved and lined cylindrical ducts with mean flow 

    Brambley, Edward James (University of CambridgeDepartment of Applied Mathematics and Theoretical PhysicsPembroke College, 2007-10-23)
    This thesis considers linear perturbations to the steady flow of a compressible inviscid perfect gas along a cylindrical or annular duct. Particular consideration is given to the model of the duct boundary, and to the ...

  • The formation and evolution of reconnection-driven, slow-mode shocks in a partially ionised plasma 

    Hillier, Andrew Stephen; Takasao, S; Nakamura, N (EDP SciencesAstronomy & Astrophysics, 2016)
    The role of slow-mode magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) shocks in magnetic reconnection is of great importance for energy conversion and transport, but in many astrophysical plasmas the plasma is not fully ionised. In this paper, ...
