Tidal waves in stars and planets
Gravitational tidal forcing excites internal gravity and inertial waves in fluid layers of planets and stars. The dissipation of these waves can produce long-term evolution...
Please note that the PhD projects listed are examples of projects offered to current CDT students and as such are not generally available to prospective students.

Fluid dynamics play a crucial role in controlling Earth’s magnetic environment. Motion of electrically-conducting fluid deep within Earth’s core creates our planet’s internally-generated field, while...
Tides between astrophysical objects are ubiquitous in astrophysics, from planets orbiting their host stars to stars orbiting supermassive black holes in galaxy centres. In many...
