Mathematical Sciences: Internal Waves in Geophysical Contexts

这项研究将研究流体在旋转的椭球体中的正常模式，当流体是分层的，并且受到磁场的影响。该数学模型允许隔离重要的物理效应。结果将包含洞察力，这应该有助于解释复杂数值计算的图形显示的解决方案。这项工作将有助于理解地球液核的振荡。因此，它将促进波的数学理论和地球物理流体动力学的发展。

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.
