| **Title:** Scent capture in a hagfish | **Title:** Scent capture in a hagfish | ||
| + | In this seminar I will explain what scent capture means, what a hagfish is, why this particular hagfish is special to the University, and why studying scent capture in a hagfish is important. I will then say what we have learnt from our study, and how this knowledge can be applied to scent-tracking robots, electronic noses, and microfluidic devices (the hagfish nose is really just a very ancient microfluidic device, pre-dating all the microfluidic lab-on-a-chip hoo-ha by about 300 million years). | ||
| + | The talk should appeal to anyone interested in biological flow, biology, and sensors. It will involve computational fluid dynamics (determining the pattern of flow in the hagfish nose) and numerical modelling (of scent capture), as well as some dye visualisation (to validate the computational fluid dynamics). Dogs and humans will make a brief appearance. | ||

| + | **Title:** Deterministic wave forecasting with nonlinear dispersion corrections | ||
| - | Join Zoom Meeting | + | Deterministic wave forecasting aims to provide a wave-by-wave prediction of the free surface elevation based on measured data. Such information about upcoming waves can inform marine decision support systems, control strategies for wave energy converters, and other applications. Unlike well-developed stochastic wave forecasts, the temporal and spatial scales involved are modest, on the order of minutes or kilometres. Due to the dispersive nature of surface water waves, such forecasts have a limited space/time horizon, which is further impacted by the effects of nonlinearity. I will discuss the application of the reduced Zakharov equation, and simple frequency corrections derived therefrom, to preparing wave forecasts. Unlike procedures based on solving evolution equations (e.g. high order spectral method), such corrections entail essentially no additional computational effort, yet show marked improvements over linear theory. |

| - | < | + | We illustrate the versatility of spatial mathematical and computational modelling in the life sciences by first considering features of the diffusively-driven Turing instability that are relevant in developmental biology. In particular, we initially focus on a mathematical consideration of the conditions for the Turing instability in the presence of an underlying spatial heterogeneity. We then consider an application of Turing’s idea in exploring the hypothesis that the mechanism driving finger-print formation features an abrogated |
