Viscous Effects in Free-Surface Flows

澳大利亚在自由表面流体力学领域取得了令人自豪的成就。该项目将对这些研究成果进行建设和推广。它将提供有关流体层如何倾覆和混合的新信息，这是海洋学中的一个重要过程。它将检查移动储罐中流体的晃动行为，这在燃料运输和建筑设计中很重要。该项目将为准确解决这些问题开发新的数学方法，并将为澳大利亚的下一代研究数学家做出贡献。

Australia has a proud record of achievement in the field of free-surface fluid mechanics. This project will build and extend these research achievements. It will provide new information about how fluid layers overturn and mix, which is an important process in oceanography. It will examine the sloshing behaviour of fluid in moving storage tanks, which is important in fuel transport and building design. The project will develop new mathematical methods for solving these problems accurately, and will contribute to the next generation of research mathematicians in Australia.
