My research is concerned with fluid models (hydrodynamics, magnetohydrodynamics, and extensions of these concepts). Fluid models can be applied to physics on a huge range of spatial and temporal scales, so that they are the cornerstone of Astrophysical Theory.
My work examines (1) the fluid dynamics (convection, waves, mixing) of the stellar interior, and (2) the plasma dynamics (turbulence, shocks, waves, diffusion) of the interstellar and interplanetary media. I am particularly interested in the interaction of particles and fluids.
