Solutions are found for the growth of infinitesimally thin, two-dimensional fingers governed by Poisson’s equation in a long strip. The analytical results determine the asymptotic paths selected by the fingers which compare well with the recent num

A simple quasigeostrophic model is used to examine the outflow from a river, estuary, or strait into a coastal ocean. As shown by Johnson et al., these quasigeostrophic outflows are accurately described by analytical long-wave solutions. This paper f

A numerical procedure based on the Schwarz-Christoffel map suitable for the study of the Laplacian growth of thin two-dimensional protrusions is presented. The protrusions take the form of either straight needles or curved fingers satisfying Loewner'

The behaviour of two-dimensional finite blobs of conducting viscous fluid in a Hele-Shaw cell subject to an electric field is considered. The time-dependent free boundary problem is studied both analytically using the Schwarz function of the free bou

A new algorithm (VOR-MFS) is presented for the solution of a generalized Hamiltonian model of point vortex dynamics in an arbitrary two-dimensional computational domain. The VOR-MFS algorithm utilizes the method of fundamental solutions (MFS) to obta

An equation governing the evolution of a Hele-Shaw free boundary flow in the presence of an arbitrary external potential – generalised Hele-Shaw flow – is derived in terms of the Schwarz functiong(z,t) of the free boundary. This generalises the w

The free-boundary problem determining the shape of a layer of viscous fluid coating a substrate while draining steadily under gravity is solved analytically for substrates taking the form of a periodic array of long plates of arbitrary width and spac

An explicit solution for a layer of fluid with constant vorticity surrounding a thin plate of finite length is obtained using elementary conformal mapping methods. In the limit of large plate length the behaviour of the solution near the ends of the

The scattering at a rectilinear step change in depth of a shallow-water vortex pair consisting of two patches of equal but opposite-signed vorticity is studied. Using the constants of motion, an explicit relationship is derived relating the angle of

McDonald (1998) has studied the motion of an intense, quasi-geostrophic, equivalent-barotropic, singular vortex near an infinitely long escarpment. The present work considers the remaining cases of the motion of weak and moderate intensity singular v
