Observations of turbulent dynamics in the ocean surface boundary layer
(2014-03-26)
Turbulence and mixing processes are investigated in the ocean surface boundary layer (OSBL) using microstructure measurements from the Air-Sea Interaction Profiler (ASIP) a vertically rising, autonomous instrument equipped ...
OpenFOAM computational fluid dynamics studies on the ocean-atmosphere
(2015-09-05)
Computational fluid dynamics (CFD) is the use of applied mathematics, physics, and computational software to visualize how a fluid flows around objects. CFD is based on the Navier-Stokes equations, which describe how the ...
A study of turbulence and infall over multiple scales of star formation
(2014-09-28)
The understanding of the processes of star formation informs the understanding and investigation of questions of galactic dynamics and the formation of stellar systems of exoplanets and so sits between the galactic and ...
Development of a high-resolution gamma-ray imaging system with synthetic collimation.
(2013-11-01)
This work outlines the development of a multi-pinhole single-photon emission computed tomography (SPECT) system designed to produce a synthetic-collimator image of a small field of view. The synthetic-collimator image was ...
Computational development of a particle-In-cell computer code for the simulation of plasma Instabilities around rotation powered pulsars
(2014-09-03)
This thesis reports on the design and development of DYMPHNA3D, a 3D particle-in-cell (PIC) plasma simulation code. It also focuses on the field of radio emission and the discovery of rotation powered neutron stars, ...
Radiobiological modelling in Radiation Oncology
(2011-09-30)
Biological models potentially o er the ability to predict the response of tumour control to irradiation. A tumour control probability (TCP) model with excellent radiobiological pedigree was developed and examined to predict ...
Development and Implementation of an Ultra High Speed Astronomical Polarimeter: The Galway Astronomical Stokes Polarimeter (GASP)
(2013-05-12)
Optical polarization is a powerful diagnostic tool in astrophysics, allowing the
investigation of asymmetries in source regions of astronomical objects, magnetic
field configurations, and magnetic field strengths. Polarized ...
A Monte Carlo Investigation in External Beam Radiotherapy
(2011-09-30)
Monte Carlo techniques have been shown to be the most accurate method of
modelling radiation transport and dose deposition. With increasingly complex
radiotherapy techniques being employed in the continuing fight against ...
4D light field reconstruction and scene depth estimation from plenoptic camera raw images
(2016-05-16)
Microlens-array-based light-field cameras (also known as plenoptic cameras), which are capable of recording both angular and spatial information of light, are already commercially available as consumer commodities. Due to ...
Modelling of Inhalation Exposures to Pharmaceutical Agents
(2011-09-09)
Assessment of worker's exposure is becoming increasingly critical in the pharmaceutical industry as drugs of higher potency are being manufactured. Also the batch nature of operations often makes it difficult to obtain ...
