Thermoviscous coating and rimming flow [PDF]
, 2012 A comprehensive description is obtained of steady thermoviscous (i.e. with temperature-dependent viscosity) coating and rimming flow on a uniformly rotating horizontal cylinder which is uniformly hotter or colder than the surrounding atmosphere.

Aspects of three-dimensional MHD : magnetic reconnection and rotating coronae [PDF]
, 2010 Solutions of the magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) equations are very important for modelling laboratory, space and astrophysical plasmas, for example the solar and stellar coronae, as well as for modelling many of the dynamic processes that occur in these ...

Design and Experimental Validation of a Ducted Counter-rotating Axial-flow Fans System [PDF]
, 2012 An experimental study on the design of counter-rotating axial-flow fans was carried out. The fans were designed using an inverse method. In particular, the system is designed to have a pure axial discharge flow.

Ellipsoidal vortices in rotating stratified fluids : beyond the quasi-geostrophic approximation [PDF]
, 2015 Support for this research has come from the UK Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council (grant number EP/H001794/1).We examine the basic properties and stability of isolated vortices having uniform potential vorticity (PV) in a non-hydrostatic ...

Bending and twisting instabilities of columnar elliptical vortices in a rotating strongly stratified fluid [PDF]
, 2006 This is a comprehensive analysis of the linear stability of columnar elliptical vortices subject to two-dimensional strain in a rotating, stratified fluid. It is the culmination of two lines of research, one started by Dritschel involving the tall-column

Critical balance in magnetohydrodynamic, rotating and stratified turbulence : towards a universal scaling conjecture [PDF]
, 2009 It is proposed that critical balance - a scale-by-scale balance between the linear propagation and nonlinear interaction time scales - can be used as a universal scaling conjecture for determining the spectra of strong turbulence in anisotropic wave ...

Experiments on a barotropic rotating shear layer. Part 1. Instability and steady vortices [PDF]
, 1999 The barotropic shear layer in a rotating fluid is studied in a laboratory experiment. Through the rotation of circular sections in the base and lid of a circular tank relative to a background rotation of the entire system, a vertical layer of strong ...
