About this position

Primary Supervisor: Prof. Mark Blyth Inviscid liquid jets subject to surface tension and in the absence of gravity are known to be unstable under long-wave perturbations, a phenomenon described by the classical Rayleigh–Plateau instability. However, when vorticity and swirl are included, Erhard et al. (2022) have theoretically demonstrated the existence of nonlinear travelling-wave solutions on such jets — although their detailed properties remain unexplored. In this project, we will develop new computational methods to compute and characterize these novel wave solutions, with particular empha
