Stochastic Methods in Mathematical Geophysical Fluid Dynamics. The project will develop analytical and numerical methods for long-term weather forecasting and climate modelling. The project deals with the mathematical aspects and fundamental mechanisms underpinning numerical climate forecasting. The project will develop new methodology for accurate modelling of the important and dominant slow global processes without explicitly resolving the precise detail of the weather of each day at all scale ....Stochastic Methods in Mathematical Geophysical Fluid Dynamics. The project will develop analytical and numerical methods for long-term weather forecasting and climate modelling. The project deals with the mathematical aspects and fundamental mechanisms underpinning numerical climate forecasting. The project will develop new methodology for accurate modelling of the important and dominant slow global processes without explicitly resolving the precise detail of the weather of each day at all scales. Using sophisticated mathematics, this project investigates how to parameterize the fast and small processes by using stochastic processes in a controllable and adaptive way.Read moreRead less
An advanced multiphase model for geometrical evolution and anomalous flows. The project aims to provide new insights into the ways that Australia’s abundant energy resources are utilised for energy security and environmental stewardship. Simulation developments and fundamental insights on multiphase porous media flows provide significant outcomes toward the national priorities. These developments are paramount for various applications, such as geological storage of CO2, oil/gas recovery, groundw ....An advanced multiphase model for geometrical evolution and anomalous flows. The project aims to provide new insights into the ways that Australia’s abundant energy resources are utilised for energy security and environmental stewardship. Simulation developments and fundamental insights on multiphase porous media flows provide significant outcomes toward the national priorities. These developments are paramount for various applications, such as geological storage of CO2, oil/gas recovery, groundwater remediation and energy storage. This will provide benefit to the oil/gas industry which spends hundreds of millions of dollars on reservoir modelling; the proposed research will provide the fundamental insights necessary to advance the utility of these simulations and other porous media applications for energy storage.Read moreRead less
The convective boundaries in stars. This project aims to locate the boundaries of convection, a problem in models of stars. It will calculate high-resolution three-dimensional simulations of stars and observe star clusters. The effect of this advance on stellar modelling could be profound since almost all stars contain convective regions. Many branches of astronomy rely on stellar models so the effect could extend far beyond the immediate field, ultimately expanding understanding of the Universe ....The convective boundaries in stars. This project aims to locate the boundaries of convection, a problem in models of stars. It will calculate high-resolution three-dimensional simulations of stars and observe star clusters. The effect of this advance on stellar modelling could be profound since almost all stars contain convective regions. Many branches of astronomy rely on stellar models so the effect could extend far beyond the immediate field, ultimately expanding understanding of the Universe. It could also be crucial in realising the scientific advances of the surveys which are gathering data for up to a billion stars.Read moreRead less
High-temperature high-pressure NMR cross-correlations through experiment and consistent modeling. The integration of modelling and laboratory experiments on reservoir rock at reservoir conditions allow the efficient use of expensive reservoir core. Reliable cross-correlations and the understanding of the underlying mechanisms will aid the responsible development of Australia's tight gas, coal-bed methane, and geothermal energy resources.
