The paper “Can weakly nonlinear theory explain Faraday wave patterns near onset?“, co-authored by Anne Skeldon and Alistair Rucklidge (Leeds), has been accepted for publication in the Journal of Fluid Mechanics. The paper presents the first quantitative comparison between weakly nonlinear theory of the full Navier–Stokes equations and (previously published) experimental results for the Faraday […]

Chloe Bones, a second year undergraduate on the MMath programme, has been awarded an EPSRC Vacation Bursary to work with Naratip Santitissadeekorn. The project title is “Image noise reduction by statistical regularization techniques“. Digital images are typically degraded by various types of noise due to imperfection in the image acquisition processes. A key difficulty in […]
