Multi-dimensional modelling of physiologically and temporally structured populations
(University of St Andrews, 2004) - ThesisPhysiologically-structured population counts are sometimes the only available source of information about a population. Because such data are often sparse and noisy, they are difficult to model. Moreover the parameters of ... -
The numerical solution of finite difference equations with applications to problems in fluid dynamics
(University of St Andrews, 1956) - Thesis -
A model for solar flares and coronal heating based on magnetohydrodynamic avalanches
(University of St Andrews, 2020-12-01) - ThesisThe coronal heating problem addresses how temperatures in the solar atmosphere increase by millions of degrees, moving up from the cool surface, into the upper reaches of the atmosphere. This heating, known to be attributable ... -
Numerical modelling of MHD waves in coronal loops
(University of St Andrews, 2020-12-03) - ThesisWaves in the solar corona have been investigated for many years, as a potential coronal heating mechanism and in the context of coronal seismology, and they play an important role in our understanding of the solar corona. ... -
Electron acceleration in auroral field-aligned currents
(University of St Andrews, 2006-11-30) - ThesisField-aligned currents at Earth's high latitudes are principally carried by accelerated electrons. Current densities, typically ~µAm⁻² at ionospheric altitudes, are sustained by parallel potential drops of ~100 - 1000 V. ...
