What We Study
Research
Our group uses numerical simulations and theory to understand fluid dynamical processes within planets and stars.
Recent Highlights
A selection of recent papers from the group.
We study how fluids behave on and within planets and stars — using numerical simulation and theory to connect microscale turbulence to planetary-scale dynamics.
