Matthew Turner’s latest paper on forced fluid sloshing in a container with bottom topography is to appear in the Journal of Fluids and Structures. This paper uses a conformal mapping to map the interior of the fluid domain to a rectangle with time dependent aspect ratio, in order to perform efficient numerical simulations of the […]
