    • Images as proximity sensors : the incidence of conspecific foraging in Antarctic fur seals 

      Hooker, Sascha Kate; Barychka, Tatsiana; Jessopp, Mark J; Staniland, Iain J (2015-09-29) - Journal article
      Background: Although there have been recent advances in the development of animal-attached ‘proximity’ tags to remotely record the interactions of multiple individuals, the efficacy of these devices depends on the ...

    • Vortical control of forced two-dimensional turbulence 

      Fontane, Jerome Jacob Louis; Dritschel, David Gerard; Scott, Richard Kirkness (2013-01-14) - Journal article
      A new numerical technique for the simulation of forced two-dimensional turbulence[D. Dritschel and J. Fontane, “The combined Lagrangian advection method,” J. Comput. Phys.229, 5408–5417 (Year: 2010)10.1016/j.jcp.2010.03.048] ...

    • The effect of slip length on vortex rebound from a rigid boundary 

      Sutherland, D.; Macaskill, C.; Dritschel, D.G. (2013-09-23) - Journal article
      The 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 

      Płotka, H.; Dritschel, D.G. (2011-01-01) - Journal article
      We 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 ...

    • Boundary layer flow beneath an internal solitary wave of elevation 

      Carr, Magda; Davies, P A (2010-02) - Journal article
      The 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 ...
