... had, from the early 1950s, great ambition to build a research group in turbulence, and he succeeded in doing so, with research students, research fellows (post-docs) of Trinity College, Cambridge, and a flow of distinguished senior visitors from overseas. Figure 2 shows a rather ill-focused photograph of this group as it was in 1955, with G.I. Taylor third from the left in the front row, flanked by Batchelor and Townsend. On Batchelor's left (i.e. to the right in the photo) is Fritz Ursell, who later became Beyer Professor of Mathematics at the University of Manchester (succeeding Lighthill, who moved to become Director of the Royal Aircraft Establishment in Farnborough); and on his left is Milton Van Dyke who was then spending a sabbatical year in Cambridge. ...

Instead of modelling an economic agent by a hysteron, we suggest a fluid–mechanical notion of rate-dependent hysteretic agents based on the theory of Poisson counters. It leads to a simple representation of assemblies of such agents. We discuss the properties of the new version of hysteresis and its advantages over classical models of hysteresis in...
These notes are intended to provide a brief primer in plasma physics, introducing common definitions, basic properties, and typical processes found in plasmas. These concepts are inherent in contemporary plasma-based accelerator schemes, and thus provide a foundation for the more advanced expositions that follow in this volume. No prior knowledge o...
Multi-layer commingle production is a common development technique to improve the overall oil recovery of multi-layer laminated sandstone reservoirs. However, grasping the additional pressure drop of each production layer flow accurately, a large amount of production testing data needs to be collected, which significantly increases the cost of oilf...
