Funded Activity Summary

The fluid dynamics of intrusions. This project aims to investigate intrusions, the primarily horizontal flows of well-mixed fluid into density-stratified surroundings. Such flows are fundamental in the atmosphere and oceans, but they are little understood because they are controlled by strong feedback between the intrusion and internal waves generated in the stratified ambient. Existing studies rely on computationally intensive simulations, analogue experiments or ad-hoc models of limited applicability. This project expects to develop and validate a new, broadly applicable and rigorous mathematical model for such flows. Expected benefits include improved volcanic ash dispersal modelling and improved understanding of climate-critical oceanic and atmospheric flows.
