- The paper presents a novel approach and remarkable agreement with classical experiments in rotating boundary-layer flows. It has prompted a major international collaboration with the authors and Calabretto & Denier (Macquarie, Australia) with AU$1.2M and £0.5m parallel funding applications to ARC and EPSRC. The paper’s complete description of this canonical flow has implications for our understanding of all transient flows and forms the basis of ongoing collaborations with Segalini (KTH, Sweden).
