The project concerns convection under a magnetic field\u00a0in the so called \u201ctangent cylinder\u201d region of the Earth’s core. Much of\u00a0the mystery surrounding the Earth’s dynamics (its magnetic field, plate\u00a0tecnonics) lies in the nature of the convective patterns within the\u00a0Earth’s liquid core, and in particular in the region called the \u201cTangent\u00a0Cylinder\u201d. What are the possible convective states under the combined\u00a0influence of the Earth’s rotation and magnetic field, and how erratic\u00a0are they? This thesis is part of a theoretical and experimental research Successful candidates are expected to hold or be on course for a MSc or\u00a0equivalent, in fluid mechanics or a related discipline (Physics\/Mathematics), and to have demonstrated excellent abilities in\u00a0mathematics and programming. Applicants having validated the theoretical\u00a0part of their Masters and needing an internship to validate their\u00a0Masters degree are encouraged to apply too. The student will receive a\u00a0net, tax-free bursary of \u00a315k per annum.<\/p>\n The successful candidate will be part the vibrant team of\u00a0internationally recognised academics and PhD students forming the fluid\u00a0dynamics group within the Applied Mathematics Research Centre, whose\u00a0work has been ranked at 87% world-class at the UK\u2019 latest Research\u00a0Excellence Framework in 2014. This unit is part of the Flow Measurement\u00a0and Fluid Mechanics Research Centre, specialises in theoretical and\u00a0experimental fluid mechanics.

Even though their\u00a0fine structure involves complex three-dimensional phenomena, their\u00a0evolution within the global structure of the atmosphere can be expected\u00a0to be reasonably well represented by 2D equations of motion.\u00a0Simulating these events with 2D equation requires so much less\u00a0computational power than the full 3D equations that they open such Successful candidates are expected to hold or be on course for a MSc or\u00a0equivalent, with a grade of 70% or above, in fluid mechanics or a\u00a0related discipline (Physics\/ Engineering\/ Mathematics), and to have\u00a0demonstrated excellent abilities in mathematics and programming.\u00a0Applicants having validated the theoretical part of their Masters and\u00a0needing an internship to validate their Masters degree are encouraged to\u00a0apply too.

\nprogram funded by the prestigious Levehulme Trust\u00a0(http:\/\/www.leverhulme.ac.uk<\/a>), that aims at answering these questions.\u00a0The purpose of this thesis is to theoretically predict the possible\u00a0nonlinear convective states for the first time. We will then evaluate\u00a0which of these states are mostly likely to underpin the Earth’s core\u00a0convection.
\nThe student will conduct the theoretical and numerical analysis of the\u00a0problem under the joint supervision of Prof. Alban Poth\u00e9rat\u00a0(http:\/\/users.complexity-coventry.org\/~potherat\/index.html<\/a>) and Dr Chris\u00a0Pringle. The study will seek the possible structure of convection by\u00a0means of advanced stability theory and branch tracking method, to unveil\u00a0the possible states. In the frame of the research program, the PhD work\u00a0will be conducted in collaboration with an experimental study that will\u00a0seek to reproduce and visualise these non-linear states in an\u00a0experimental model of the Earth Core.<\/p>\n

\npossibilities as simulating entire planetary atmospheres in a single\u00a0computation, or studying the very long-term evolution of these\u00a0structures. Yet, to be physically accurate, these 2D equations still\u00a0need to account for some of the 3D effects due to planetary rotation and\u00a0curvature, ground friction, and other phenomena such as the transfer of\u00a0heat to and\u00a0within the atmosphere. The purpose of the project is to mathematically\u00a0derive such 2D models from the full 3D equations and, by means of\u00a0numerical simulations and stability analsysis, understand the mechanisms\u00a0driving large atmospheric patterns, possibly at the scale of the entire\u00a0planet. The 2D models will also be used to simulate laboratory-scale\u00a0experiments where these mechanisms could be reproduced and where the
\nmodels themselves could be validated.<\/p>\n\n
