Application of stochastic differential equations and real option theory in investment decision problems
(University of St Andrews, 2010-11-30) - ThesisThis thesis contains a discussion of four problems arising from the application of stochastic differential equations and real option theory to investment decision problems in a continuous-time framework. It is based on ... -
MHD mode conversion of fast and slow magnetoacoustic waves in the solar corona
(University of St Andrews, 2010-11-30) - ThesisThere are three main wave types present in the Sun’s atmosphere: Alfvén waves and fast and slow magnetoacoustic waves. Alfvén waves are purely magnetic and would not exist if it was not for the Sun’s magnetic field. The ... -
Aspects of three-dimensional MHD : magnetic reconnection and rotating coronae
(University of St Andrews, 2010-06-23) - ThesisSolutions of the magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) equations are very important for modelling laboratory, space and astrophysical plasmas, for example the solar and stellar coronae, as well as for modelling many of the dynamic ... -
Development and application of a global magnetic field evolution model for the solar corona
(University of St Andrews, 2009-06-24) - ThesisMagnetic fields are fundamental to the structure and dynamics of the Sun’s corona. Observations show them to be locally complex, with highly sheared and twisted fields visible in solar filaments/prominences. The free magnetic ... -
The contour-advective semi-Lagrangian hybrid algorithm approach to weather forecasting and freely propagating inertia-gravity waves in the shallow-water system
(University of St Andrews, 2009-06-24) - ThesisThis thesis is aimed at extending the spherical barotropic contour-advective semi-Lagrangian (CASL) Algorithm, written in 1996 by David Dritschel and Maarten Ambaum, to more complex test cases within the shallow-water ...
