Practice:

1. Nonlinear Dynamics of Jets:
• evolution and interactions of coherent structures in fully turbulent jets
• dynamics of instability modes in a shear layer (structural formulation)
• nonlinear interaction between fundamental and subharmonic modes in shear layer
2. Climate Prediction
• local and global transport models in the atmosphere
3. Discrete Vortex Dynamics
• evolution of discrete vortex circles: periodicity and chaotic regimes
4. Interaction between conflicting boundary layers for moderate Re numbers
