Alex Doak

Alex Doak is a UKRI Fluid Dynamics Research Fellow in the Department of Mathematical Sciences at the University of Bath. His research focuses on fluid dynamics, particularly in geophysical and nonlinear wave phenomena. He is a co-investigator on the EPSRC-funded project 'NFFDy - New directions for waves in fluids' (2023-2026), exploring topics like internal tides and stratified flows.

His research interests include free surface flows, solitary waves, and computational fluid dynamics, with applications to oceanography and environmental fluid mechanics. He has published extensively in journals such as Journal of Fluid Mechanics and SIAM Journal on Applied Mathematics, focusing on theoretical and numerical studies of wave dynamics in layered flows and electric field effects.

• Key Projects: NFFDy (EPSRC grant, 2023-2026)
• Research Themes: Internal tides, stratified flows, nonlinear wave interactions, numerical modeling
• Recent Contributions: Studies on superharmonic generation in ocean models, three-layer flow dynamics, and electric field-driven fluid interfaces

Doak collaborates internationally on geophysical fluid dynamics and maintains an active presence in interdisciplinary research through conferences and computational fluid dynamics initiatives.
