Convection in a differentially heated rotating spherical shell of Boussinesq fluid with radiative forcing
Babalola, David (2012-12-01)In this study we investigate the flow of a Boussinesq fluid contained in a rotating, differentially heated spherical shell. Previous work, on the spherical shell of Boussinesq fluid, differentially heated the shell by ... -
A matrix-free numerical bifurcation method applied to sheared annular electroconvection
Jabbour, Jamil Antoine (2015-08-01)We investigate the flow transitions in sheared annular electroconvection using matrix-free numerical bifurcation methods. In particular, we study a model that simulates a liquid crystal film in the Smectic A phase suspended ... -
Numerical methods for simulating diffusion in cellular media
Sherk, Trevor R.H. (2011-12-01)Diffusion imaging is a relatively recent branch of magnetic resonance imaging that produces images of human physiology through diffusion of water molecules within the body. One difficulty in calculating diffusion ... -
A numerical study of the effects of inhomogeneous media in diffusion weighted imaging
Cervi, Jessica (2015-07-01)Diffusion Weighted Imaging (DWI) -a common Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) technique - is used to infer material properties of tissues from the average diffusion of water molecules over brief time intervals. In particular, ...
