Optimal meshes for C¹ finite elements

In a joint work with Ana Maria Soane and Manil Suri we have developed optimal meshing criteria and error estimates for C¹ finite element grids on non-convex domains.

Fluid Mechanics

In a joint work with Ana Maria Soane we have developed theory and numerical software for a C¹ finite element solver for the Navier-Stokes equations of fluid dynamics.

Rigid body dynamics

In a joint work with colleagues in the Mechanical Engineering Department and the US Department of Agriculture, we have investigated the non-holonomic dynamics of rigid bodies rolling down on inclined tracks.
