Hi all! I defended my Ph.D. thesis back in 2019 and I also served as the creator and moderator for the subreddit r/FluidMechanics for a long time. I think with that I have gathered enough experience and courage to answer some of your queries. Some broad topics that I can answer questions on are:
- computation fluid mechanics
- scientific programming and HPC
- nonlinear shallow water equations
- statistical description of turbulence: spectra, energy budget etc.
- experimental methods: PIV
- stratified turbulence
- academia
- navigating your career pre- and post-Ph.D.
Ask away!

So are you treating the Earth’s crust as a shallow fluid layer? Or the mantle underneath? I would think the mantle is too thick for shallow water equations.
