Jacques Vanneste is a professor of mathematics at the University of Edinburgh, whose main research area is fluid dynamics.[1]
His particular research interest is in analytic methods for handling systems with dynamics on two distinct time or length scales.[2] This is relevant, for example, for the interaction between weather and ocean circulation, where fast inertial waves can be generated by slow underlying flows; see for example his work[3] on the tropopause, and his most-cited paper.[4] He is also interested in the dynamics of stirring.[5]
