PhD in Mathematics - Making a splash: Mathematical modelling of resonant wave sloshing in confined basins

Motivated by marine and industrial applications, this project concerns nonlinear resonant sloshing of confined water waves. Nonlinear resonance is a mechanism by which energy is continuously exchanged between a small number of linear wave modes, a phenomenon common to many dispersive fluid systems. Read more

EPSRC DTP - Mechanical failure mechanisms at high pressure

The occurrence of earthquakes with hypocenters deeper than 60 km was recognised very early in the history of seismology. These deep earthquakes make up∼25 % of all earthquakes, are exclusively associated with convergent plate boundaries and locate within, or very close to, thcold subducting oceanic lithosphere.
