Spin-up of homogeneous and stratified fluids

PW Duck, MR Foster - Annual review of fluid mechanics, 2001 - annualreviews.org
▪ Abstract We consider the manner in which a container filled with viscous fluid adjusts to
changes in its rotation rate. We begin with homogeneous flows involving small departures in …

Viscous linear stability analysis of rectangular duct and cavity flows

V Theofilis, PW Duck, J Owen - Journal of Fluid Mechanics, 2004 - cambridge.org
The viscous linear stability of four classes of incompressible flows inside rectangular containers
is studied numerically. In the first class the instability of flow through a rectangular duct, …

Universal option valuation using quadrature methods

AD Andricopoulos, M Widdicks, PW Duck… - Journal of Financial …, 2003 - Elsevier
This paper proposes and develops a novel, simple, widely applicable numerical approach
for option pricing based on quadrature methods. Though in some ways similar to lattice or …

Separation of jets or thermal boundary layers from a wall

FT Smith, PW Duck - The Quarterly Journal of Mechanics and …, 1977 - academic.oup.com
Consideration is given to the nature of the separation and subsequent reversed flow occurring
when a jet-like boundary layer on a wall encounters a concave corner of finite angle α or …

The generation of Tollmien-Schlichting waves by free-stream turbulence

PW Duck, AI Ruban, CN Zhikharev - Journal of Fluid Mechanics, 1996 - cambridge.org
The phenomenon of Tollmien-Schlichting wave generation in a boundary layer by free-stream
turbulence is analysed theoretically by means of asymptotic solution of the Navier-Stokes …

On the linear stability of compressible plane Couette flow

PW Duck, G Erlebacher, MY Hussaini - Journal of Fluid Mechanics, 1994 - cambridge.org
The linear stability of compressible plane Couette flow is investigated. The appropriate
basic velocity and temperature distributions are perturbed by a small-amplitude normal-mode …

Extending quadrature methods to value multi-asset and complex path dependent options

…, M Widdicks, DP Newton, PW Duck - Journal of Financial …, 2007 - Elsevier
The exposition of the quadrature (QUAD) method (Andricopoulos, Widdicks, Duck, and
Newton, 2003. Universal option valuation using quadrature methods. Journal of Financial …

On the interaction between the shock wave attached to a wedge and freestream disturbances

PW Duck, DG Lasseigne, MY Hussaini - Theoretical and Computational …, 1995 - Springer
We present a study of the interaction of small amplitude, unsteady, freestream disturbances
with a shock wave induced by a wedge in supersonic flow. These disturbances may be …

The effect of three-dimensional freestream disturbances on the supersonic flow past a wedge

PW Duck, DG Lasseigne, MY Hussaini - Physics of Fluids, 1997 - pubs.aip.org
… The aim of the present paper is to extend the ideas of Duck et al.to three-dimensional
disturbances; indeed, little three-dimensional work of this type appears to have been undertaken in …

The Black‐Scholes Equation Revisited: Asymptotic Expansions And Singular Perturbations

M Widdicks, PW Duck… - Mathematical …, 2005 - Wiley Online Library
In this paper, novel singular perturbation techniques are applied to price European, American,
and barrier options. Employment of these methods leads to a significant simplification of …
