The linear spin-up of a stratified, rotating fluid in a square cylinder (2012)
Journal Article

Here we present experimental and theoretical results for how a stratified fluid, initially rotating as a solid body with constant angular velocity, , within a closed cylinder of square cross-section, is spun up when subject to a small, impulsive incr...

The interaction of a vortex ring with a sloped sediment layer: critical criteria for incipient grain motion (2012)
Journal Article

Experiments were performed to analyse the interaction between a vortex ring and a sloped sediment layer. Attention focussed on interactions under “critical” conditions, in which sediment motion was only just induced by the ring's flow field. Both hyd...
