Fluids and Mechanics

Our research in Fluid Mechanics is concerned with fluid mixing and turbulence, large scale oceanic flows in the form of climate dynamics, astrophysical flows and waves; and small scale flows, such as those that occur at scales relevant to industrial coatings and biological fluids such as blood. In the area of mechanics we study the dynamics of filaments, and rods, plates and shells, all important in biology and in engineering.
