Viscous breaking waves

joint work with Emmanuel Dormy, J. Fluid Mech. 984:R5 (2024)

We have developped a finite-element based code to numerically solve the free-surface Navier-Stokes equation. An initial condition leading to the formation of a plunging breaker is investigated. Particular emphasis is put on the high Reynolds number limit and the regularising effects of viscosity.

About me

I am a post-doctoral student in Applied Mathematics, currently based at the DAMTP in Cambridge, where I have been awarded a David Crighton Fellowship. Before that, I was a Ph.D. at École Normale Supérieure - PSL in Paris for 3 years. My research focuses on the mathematical theory of (possibly breaking) water waves, boundary layers and numerical analysis.
