Matt Turner gave a seminar today (Thursday 17 October), at the Isaac Institute for Mathematical Sciences in Cambridge, on “Time-dependent conformal mapping techniques applied to fluid sloshing problems“. In the presentation he demonstrated how time-dependent conformal mappings can be used to construct a fast and effective numerical scheme for examining two-dimensional, inviscid, irrotational fluid sloshing […]
