Description for Analysis of Quantised Vortex Tangle
Hardback. Series: Springer Theses. Num Pages: 197 pages, 11 black & white illustrations, 84 colour illustrations, biography. BIC Classification: PBP; PBT; PHU. Category: (P) Professional & Vocational. Dimension: 235 x 155 x 14. Weight in Grams: 491.
In this thesis, the author develops numerical techniques for tracking and characterising the convoluted nodal lines in three-dimensional space, analysing their geometry on the small scale, as well as their global fractality and topological complexity---including knotting---on the large scale. The work is highly visual, and illustrated with many beautiful diagrams revealing this unanticipated aspect of the physics of waves. Linear superpositions of waves create interference patterns, which means in some places they strengthen one another, while in others they completely cancel each other out. This latter phenomenon occurs on 'vortex lines' in three dimensions. In general wave superpositions modelling e.g. ... Read more
