Student projects

We have a wide range of potential research topics. They range from short term PhB projects, to year long Honours and graduate projects and three year PhD projects.
Contact your supervisor for further discussion and ideas.

Recent development of a flowing MHD model for a rotating, collisional plasma column discovered the intriguing prediction of opposite axial acceleration of the plasma ions in the subsonic and supersonic regimes. This project would examine the regime above, below, and through the shock.
