Fluid flow in Astrophysics and Geophysics

Combining numerical simulations, laboratory experiments, and observational data to understand fluids.

Convective wave generation

Convection adjacent to stable stratification generates internal waves.

Thermals

An isolated source of buoyancy can be an effective model for convection.

Convective boundary mixing

Convective overshoot and penetration influence convective boundaries.

Wave mean-flow interactions

Geophysical and astrophysical flows can be driven by waves.

Wave conversion

Waves traveling in spatial-dependent backgrounds can undergo conversion.

Dedalus

Dedalus is a pseudo-spectral code that can solve nearly arbitrary equations.

Solar magnetism

Where and how is the solar magnetic field generated?
