The effect of slip length on vortex rebound from a rigid boundary
(2013-09-23) - Journal articleThe problem of a dipole incident normally on a rigid boundary, for moderate to large Reynolds numbers, has recently been treated numerically using a volume penalisation method by Nguyen van yen, Farge, and Schneider [Phys. ... -
Shallow-water vortex equilibria and their stability
(2011-01-01) - Journal articleWe first describe the equilibrium form and stability of steadily-rotating simply-connected vortex patches in the single-layer quasi-geostrophic model of geophysical fluid dynamics. This model, valid for rotating shallow-water ... -
The effects of physical, biological and anthropogenic noise on the occurrence of dolphins in the Pacific region of the Panama Canal
(University of St Andrews, 2014-06) - ThesisThe main aim of this thesis was to investigate the occurrence of dolphins in Pacific waters adjacent to the Panama Canal in the context of biological, temporal and spatial factors. Acoustic data were collected at 101 sites ... -
Boundary layer flow beneath an internal solitary wave of elevation
(2010-02) - Journal articleThe wave-induced flow over a fixed bottom boundary beneath an internal solitary wave of elevation propagating in an unsheared, two-layer, stably stratified fluid is investigated experimentally. Measurements of the velocity ... -
Investigating annual diving behaviour by Hooded seals (Cystophora cristata) within the Northwest Atlantic Ocean
(2013-11-25) - Journal articleWith the exception of relatively brief periods when they reproduce and moult, hooded seals, Cystophora cristata, spend most of the year in the open ocean where they undergo feeding migrations to either recover or prepare ...
