Outline of Research at the Start

This research investigates the fundamental mechanisms that govern flows that feature shear, density stratification and are subject to a system rotation. We seek to thereby deepen understanding of such flows, which are ubiquitous in nature, and include accretion disks and atmospheric mesocyclones.
