2006 - Fellow of the Royal Society, United Kingdom
Michael R. E. Proctor spends much of his time researching Mechanics, Convection, Magnetic field, Dynamo and Classical mechanics. His biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Breaking wave and Longitudinal wave. Rayleigh–Bénard convection, Convective heat transfer and Rayleigh number are the subjects of his Convection studies.
His Rayleigh–Bénard convection study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Hopf bifurcation, Oscillation and Nonlinear system. The various areas that Michael R. E. Proctor examines in his Dynamo study include Omega and Astrophysics. In the subject of general Classical mechanics, his work in Shear flow is often linked to Forcing, thereby combining diverse domains of study.
His main research concerns Classical mechanics, Mechanics, Magnetic field, Dynamo and Convection. His Classical mechanics study also includes fields such as
His research integrates issues of Field, Work and Astrophysics in his study of Magnetic field. His work on Dynamo theory and Solar dynamo as part of general Dynamo study is frequently linked to Magnetic energy, bridging the gap between disciplines. His Convection study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Mathematical analysis and Geophysics.
His primary scientific interests are in Mechanics, Magnetic field, Classical mechanics, Dynamo and Convection. His research in the fields of Buoyancy and Instability overlaps with other disciplines such as Magnetic energy. His Magnetic field research integrates issues from Work and Astrophysics.
His Dynamo research includes themes of Action, Magnetic Reynolds number, Statistical physics and Boundary value problem. His Convection research incorporates elements of Symmetry breaking, Turbulence and Bifurcation. His Dynamo theory research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Flow and Shear flow.
His scientific interests lie mostly in Classical mechanics, Dynamo, Convection, Magnetic field and Turbulence. His Classical mechanics study combines topics in areas such as Iterated function, Scaling law, Mean field theory, Nonlinear system and Piecewise. The study incorporates disciplines such as Magnetic Reynolds number and Boundary value problem in addition to Dynamo.
The concepts of his Convection study are interwoven with issues in Generalization and Bifurcation. His research is interdisciplinary, bridging the disciplines of Mechanics and Magnetic field. Michael R. E. Proctor has included themes like Symmetry breaking, Action, Work, Astrophysics and Statistical physics in his Turbulence study.
