This research will continue a study on the dynamics of the                 turbulent boundary layer.  This problem has important practical                 applications in aerodynamics and other applied areas.  The work                 will make use of the concept of a Proper Orthogonal                             Decomposition.  In this approach, the Navier-Stokes equations are               truncated into a low-dimensional system of nonlinear ordinary                   differential equations which capture most of the turbulent                      kinetic energy.  These equations can be analyzed using dynamical                systems theory to deduce the structure of the successive                        bifurcations.  Atmospheric boundary layers over water and                       undulating terrain will be investigated.
