Description
This research opportunity focuses on the numerical modeling and simulation of nonlinear partial differential equations with wave-like solutions. These equations arise in a number of scenarios, including electromagnetic wave propagation and interfacial fluid dynamics. New numerical methods and mathematical models will be developed, with particular focus on coherent structures and their stability. Featured application areas include laser propagation in the atmosphere and interfacial wave motions.
