    • Magnetic flux transport simulations : applications to solar and stellar magnetic fields 

      Cook, Graeme Robert (University of St Andrews, 2011-11) - Thesis
      Magnetic fields play a key role in a wide variety of phenomena found on the Sun. One such phenomena is the Coronal Mass Ejection (CME) where a large amount of material is ejected from the Sun. CME’s may directly affect ...

    • An investigation into the use of balance in operational numerical weather prediction 

      Devlin, David J. J. (University of St Andrews, 2011) - Thesis
      Presented in this study is a wide-ranging investigation into the use of properties of balance in an operational numerical weather prediction context. Initially, a joint numerical and observational study is undertaken. ...

    • MHD evolution of magnetic null points to static equilibria 

      Fuentes Fernández, Jorge (University of St Andrews, 2011-05-18) - Thesis
      In magnetised plasmas, magnetic reconnection is the process of magnetic field merging and recombination through which considerable amounts of magnetic energy may be converted into other forms of energy. Reconnection is a ...

    • Numerical modelling of two HMX-based plastic-bonded explosives at the mesoscale 

      Handley, Caroline A. (University of St Andrews, 2011-06-22) - Thesis
      Mesoscale models are needed to predict the effect of changes to the microstructure of plastic-bonded explosives on their shock initiation and detonation behaviour. This thesis describes the considerable progress that has ...

    • Theoretical magnetic flux emergence 

      MacTaggart, David (University of St Andrews, 2011) - Thesis
      Magnetic flux emergence is the subject of how magnetic fields from the solar interior can rise and expand into the atmosphere to produce active regions. It is the link that joins dynamics in the convection zone with ...
