Henry completed his Master’s in Mathematics (MMath) here at the University of Bath in 2022 and enjoyed it so much that he decided to stay on and do a PhD in the department. His research interests lie in the field of Fluid Mechanics and he did his master’s thesis on Nonlinear Deep Water Wave Mechanics and is looking to conduct his PhD on a problem involving fluid dynamics with a numerical flavour. Other interests in mathematics include Numerical Methods for solving nonlinear PDE, and Quantum Computing. When Henry is not doing mathematics he enjoys long-distance hiking, reading and homebrewing.

Project title:
Asymptotics beyond-all-orders for free surface flow

Supervisor(s):
Phil Trinh

Project description: 
The project aims to explore the beyond-all-orders behaviour of free surface fluid flow created when a liquid flows over a variable bottom topology. We employ various techniques, including spectral and physical-plane methods, to gain insights. Our goal is to understand the distinctions between these methods and determine the situations where one method is preferable over the other. Furthermore, we aim to extend these methods and ultimately develop the capability to analyse gravity-capillary wave systems in three dimensions.
