Research
Overview
My research concerns fluid dynamics, magnetohydrodynamics and hydrodynamic stability theory.
In particular, I am interested in the following areas:
Hydrodynamic stability for nearly inviscid flows through domains with permeable boundary. Such flows have interesting unusual features, eg, in certain situations, their stability properties may be almost unaffected by the flow details at the outflow part of the boundary, but strongly depend on what is happening at the inflow part.
Mean effects of high frequency vibrations of small amplitude in fluids and plasma. These include steady (acoustic) streaming generated by vibrating walls or bodies, mean flows induced by interacting acoustic or magnetohydrodynamic waves and waves on a free-surface of vibrating fluid.

Available PhD research projects
PhD supervision is available in the above areas.
Recent example of a PhD project: Muhammad Adil Sadiq (PhD 2011) investigated steady streaming in a viscous incompressible fluid induced by oscillating rigid bodies.
