Self-propulsion in Pitching Airfoils
Self-propelled oscillating foils are simple yet useful models that can be used to explore the physics of oscillatory bio-locomotion. In this investigation, we explore the self-propulsion characteristics of a rigid NACA0015 ... -
An investigation of the sensitivity of climate feedbacks to the latitudinal distribution of radiative forcing using the radiative kernel approach
It is well known that climate sensitivity, defined as the global mean surface temperature change per unit radiative forcing, depends on the forcing agents (such as CO2, CH4, O3, aerosols, solar radiation, land cover change, ... -
Mathematical and data-driven modelling of viral infections: Applications to HIV/AIDS and COVID-19
Remarkable advances are being made in developing interventions for eliciting longterm remission of HIV-1 infection. The success of these interventions will obviate the need for lifelong antiretroviral therapy, the current ... -
