Mathematical Sciences: Internal Waves in Geophysical Contexts

本研究将探讨当流体分层并受磁场影响时，旋转球体中流体运动的正常模式。数学模型可以把重要的物理效应分离出来。结果将有助于解释图形显示的复杂数值计算的解决方案。这项工作将有助于理解地球流体核心的振荡。因此，它将推进波的数学理论和地球物理流体动力学。

This research will investigate the normal modes of fluid motion in a rotating spheroid when the fluid is both stratified and subject to a magnetic field. The mathematical model allows important physical effects to be isolated. Results will contibute insights which should be helpful in interpreting graphically displayed solutions of complicated numerical calculations. This work will contribute to an understanding of oscillations in the earth's fluid core. It will thus advance both the mathematical theory of waves and geophysical fliud dynamics.
