Geophysical flows
Some of my early work concerned the dynamics of large scale flows dominated by the influence of stratification and the Earth’s rotation, as arise in the Earth’s atmosphere and oceans. Other geophysical research subjects have included the dynamics of tektites, the dynamics of the Earth’s lithosphere, and the dynamics of sedimentation, as arises in the world’s rivers and lakes.
- Drops and bubbles in the environment
- The drainage of glacial lakes
- Bubbles that shape photosynthetic mats
- Roll waves on flowing cornstarch
- The dynamics of the Tibetan Plateau
- The dynamics of splash-form tektites
- Sedimentation from particle clouds
- Sedimentation from riverine outflows
- Line plumes in rotation
- Drop motion in rapidly rotating flows
