Multiphase Fountains
In this thesis we present experimental studies and theoretical models on the rise height and entrainment of axisymmetric multiphase fountains. The aim of this thesis is to improve our understanding of these fundamental ... -
Some problems in low Reynolds number environmental flows
(2020-07-01)This thesis investigates some problems in environmental fluid dynamics in which the role of inertia is negligible relative to viscous stresses and buoyancy forces. Simple models are developed to provide insight into the ... -
Insights into the location, nature and influence of mantle heterogeneity in the Galápagos mantle plume
Ocean Island Basalts (OIBs) and Mid-Ocean Ridge Basalts (MORBs) provide a window into the composition, lithological properties, and volatile content of the Earth's, highly heterogeneous, convecting mantle. Our view of the ... -
Diffraction and Spectroscopy of Marine Calcite Biominerals: Insights into Structure and Geochemistry
Anthropogenic climate change is one of the biggest existential threats to the natural world and the place of humans within it. The key to understanding and shaping the future climate lies in exploring records of climate ...
