Research
The problems I work on can be broken down into a number of areas. If one were to attempt to characterize my work using a single theme, one could state it as the interaction between waves and vorticity, interpreted in the widest possible sense for both topics. Obviously not every paper can or should be viewed in this way...
Problems and areas I have worked on in the past include altimetric measurement of large-scale ocean turbulence, friction welding, critical layers on vortices, scattering by stratified and three-dimensional vortices, vortex dynamos, instability of colliding vortex rings, short-wave scattering by vortices, acoustic scattering in superfluids, tidal conversion, dispersion in plumes, near-inertial oscillations, Maxwell's problem, sea-breeze scatterometry, edge waves, hydrate dissociation, internal waves, horizontal convection and vortex shedding.
Fuller explanations are given in the links below. In general stand-alone papers are collected together, while coherent or linked papers merit a page of their own. (The numbers refer to paper numbers in the bibliography. I have not included the names of all my collaborators in the following descriptions.)
