ACM40070 Mathematical Fluid Dynamics II

Academic Year 2022/2023

Advanced treatment of fluid flows arising in natural physical phenomena and/or industrial processes. A wide range of topics and mathematical techniques are discussed and may vary from year to year. Sample topics include: Lubrication theory, Stokes flow, thin fluid flows, Aerosols and coagulation, laminar jets, boundary layer flow, buoyancy driven convection flows, buoyancy plumes, dispersion of suspensions, Kelvin-Helmholtz instability, Saffman-Taylor instabililities - viscous fingering, Thermohaline instability in a porous layer, fluid dynamics of coastal regions.
