A major contributing factor to our inability to resolve these issues has been a lack of experimental data, obtained in flows under relevant ambient and initial discharge conditions. To demonstrate this point, optical measurement techniques are employed to provide a high-quality data set for flows in weak currents and these results are discussed in the context of recent modeling efforts. About the Speaker Dr Davidson is currently teaching in the Department of Civil Engineering, Hong Kong University of Science and Technology. This was followed by three years in a postdoctoral position with the Department of Applied Mathematics and Theoretical Physics at the University of Cambridge in the United Kingdom before his current position. In 1996 Dr Davidson was awarded the Michael G. Gale medal for distinguished teaching.
