    • The origin and dynamic interaction of solar magnetic fields 

      Wilmot-Smith, A.L. (University of St Andrews, 2008-06) - Thesis
      The dynamics of the solar corona are dominated by the magnetic field which creates its structure. The magnetic field in most of the corona is ‘frozen’ to the plasma very effectively. The exception is in small localised ...

    • Strong interaction between two co-rotating vortices in rotating and stratified flows. 

      Bambrey, Ross R. (University of St Andrews, 2007) - Thesis
      In this study we investigate the interactions between two co-rotating vortices. These vortices are subject to rapid rotation and stable stratification such as are found in planetary atmospheres and oceans. By conducting ...

    • Effect of structuring on coronal loop oscillations 

      McEwan, Michael P. (University of St Andrews, 2007-06) - Thesis
      In this Thesis the theoretical understanding of oscillations in coronal structures is developed. In particular, coronal loops are modelled as magnetic slabs of plasma. The effect of introducing inhomogeneities on the ...

    • Electron cyclotron heating and current drive using the electron Bernstein modes 

      McGregor, Duncan Ekundayo (University of St Andrews, 2007) - Thesis
      Electron Bernstein waves are a mode of oscillation in a plasma, thought a candidate for providing radiofrequency heating and non-inductive current drive in spherical tokamaks. Previous studies of these modes have relied ...

    • Topological structure of the magnetic solar corona 

      Maclean, Rhona Claire (University of St Andrews, 2007) - Thesis
      The solar corona is a highly complex and active plasma environment, containing many exotic phenomena such as solar flares, coronal mass ejections, prominences, coronal loops, and bright points. The fundamental element ...
