How do planets maintain their magnetic fields?
-Abstract: Despite over 70 years of concerted research, we still do not understand the detailed mechanism by which the planets maintain their magnetic fields. While all agree that such fields are examples of fluid dynamos, driven by strongly turbulent convection within the planet's interior, there is still no agreement as to...

Uncertainty and Chaos in Shallow Flows
-Abstract: Uncertainty (1350–1400 Middle English uncerteynte) involves a state of limited knowledge where it is impossible exactly to describe the present state and future outcome(s). Chaos (from the ancient Greek, Χαος or Khaos – the first of the gods) has several meanings. One, a state of disorder and confusion. Another, a...

The hidden causes of volatile behaviour around non-smooth events
-Abstract: There are three things vital to a good understanding of a system: analysis, simulation, and experiment. Finding agreement between these three might be difficult if a system is very large and complex, if it is very noisy, or if it contains nonsmooth events (like impact, switches, or discontinuous parameters). Obviously a large complex system might...

Grazing induced bifurcations: Innocent or Sinister
-In this lecture I will examine nature of subtle phenomenon such grazing bifurcations occurring in non-smooth systems. I will start with linear oscillators undergoing impacts with secondary elastic supports, which have been studied experimentally and analytically for near-grazing conditions [1]. We discovered a narrow band of chaos close to the...
