Peter Hydon is giving a Mathematics Colloquium talk at the University of Glasgow today, Friday 10th October. His talk is on “Conservation laws: from differential to difference“. Famously, Noether’s (First) Theorem uses symmetries of a variational problem to generate conservation laws of the corresponding Euler-Lagrange equations. It is less well-known that one can construct conservation […]

A team in the Fluid Mechanics and Meteorology Group (Alemi Ardakani, Cheng, Roulstone, Turner, Bridges) are part of a network recently funded by EPSRC on “Living with Environmental Change” (LWEC). The LWEC theme involves 22 partners across government that fund environmental change related research. Partners work together across six challenge areas of climate, ecosystems, resources, health, infrastructure […]

The paper “Computing interacting multi-fronts in one-dimensional real Ginzburg Landau equations“, co-authored by Tasos Rossides, David Lloyd and Sergey Zelik, has been accepted and published in the Journal of Scientific Computing. In the paper they develop an efficient and robust numerical scheme to compute multi-fronts in one-dimensional real Ginzburg–Landau equations that range from well-separated […]
