This the World Wide Web home page for Prof. Nic Brummell. I am an Associate Professor in the Applied Mathematics and Statistics Department at the University of California Santa Cruz.
I teach applied mathematics, fluid dynamics and things related to numerical simulations. My research is generally on astrophysically-related numerical models especially solar interior magnetohydrodynamics and involves heavy use of distributed supercomputing resources and powerful local visualisation workstations.

My work interests lie in astrophysical and planetary fluid dynamics. Most
of my work is related to numerical simulation of idealised models
of solar and planetary fluid dynamics problems, in particular those
involving convection and turbulence.
The picture to the left is a top down view of penetrative convection, a subdued version of which forms the background to this page. Check out the work pages for more info.
My personal life involves a lot of
martial arts,
skiing/snowboarding
biking and socialising, plus
almost anything else outdoors :
hiking, camping,
climbing, whitewater rafting, kayaking, etc. Of course, then
I have the occasional margarita down at the Palomar too ...
