A highly adaptive three dimensional hybrid vortex method for inviscid flows and helically symmetric vortex equilibria
(University of St Andrews, 2012-06-22) - ThesisThis thesis is concerned with three-dimensional vortex dynamics, in particular the modelling of vortex structures in an inviscid context. We are motivated by the open problem of regularity of the inviscid equations, i.e. ... -
Continued fractions which correspond to two series expansions and the strong Hamburger moment problem
(University of St Andrews, 1984) - ThesisJust as the denominator polynomials of a J-fraction are orthogonal polynomials with respect to some moment functional, the denominator polynomials of an M-fraction are shown to satisfy a skew orthogonality relation with ... -
Solar flare particle acceleration in collapsing magnetic traps
(University of St Andrews, 2012-06-22) - ThesisThe topic of this thesis is a detailed investigation of different aspects of the particle acceleration mechanisms operating in Collapsing Magnetic Traps (CMTs), which have been suggested as one possible mechanism for ... -
Applications of statistics in flood frequency analysis
(University of St Andrews, 1989) - ThesisEstimation of the probability of occurrence of future flood events at one or more locations across a river system is frequently required for the design of bridges, culverts, spillways, dams and other engineering works. ... -
Coupling of the solar wind, magnetosphere and ionosphere by MHD waves
(University of St Andrews, 2010-11-30) - ThesisThe solar wind, magnetosphere and ionosphere are coupled by magnetohydrodynamic waves, and this gives rise to new and often unexpected behaviours that cannot be produced by a single, isolated part of the system. This ...
