Personal Profile:

I'm a fluid dynamicist, currently finishing off my PhD at Cambridge University Engineering Department, UK. My specialist subject is turbulent structures in Boundary layers.

I do part time consultancy work covering tidal stream turbine design, general marine propeller/turbine design, experimental techniques (Particle Image Velocimetry and related) and design optimisation. I like to use MATLAB for most of my work!
Please feel free to contact me if you'd be interested in corresponding, or require a consultant for tasks similar to the above.

In my spare time, I walk, sail, go climbing, paint with watercolours (abstract and landscapes) and play electric guitar. At least, I would do all those things, if I wasn't using Matlab most of the time...

Professional Interests:

Fluid dynamics, Tidal Turbines, Marine Engineering, Propeller / Turbine Design, Design Optimisation

28 Jul 2010	tasklist / pslist Get the current tasklist Author: Sebastian Hölz	Spot on, Sebastian. I can't speak for pslist, but tasklist worked very well for me on my windows XP machine. Enough documentation to figure it out very quickly, and a simple and neat implementation. Cheers! - Tom
02 Jul 2010	Local maxima and minima of a pp spline Determine the locations of local maxima and minima in a pp spline generated by pp = spline(x,Y); Author: Matthew Arthington	Ah! Apologies - the code itself is actually spline toolbox independent - but the example code requires fnval, which can be directly replaced with ppval for non spline-toolbox users. Suggest updating the example - I've updated my rating! Cheers Tom
23 Apr 2010	Patch Normals Calculates the normal vectors of a triangulated mesh (patch) Author: Dirk-Jan Kroon	I was halfway through writing this very function, when I thought... 'I wonder whether this has been done'... Glad I checked! This is flawless, as far as I can tell (so far I've compiled and run the example). Cheers Dirk-Jan :)
05 Apr 2010	Genetic Optimisation Optimisation Using Genetic technique. Author: David Ireland	Pretty poor effort - not well documented, no example usage and only a few comments. Inputs and outputs are not well defined. Also, this isn't an optimiser - it contains merely the step which 'cross pollinates' genes within a GA. Anyone wishing to use this would have to write their own code to run evaluations, test for convergence, handle exceptions, store a results database etc etc.
07 Dec 2009	Matlab Icon for Linux (with Transparency) A nice icon to use as Matlab start button in Linux. Author: Georg Stillfried	About time someone did it. Last install, I had to make one myself... now you've saved me the trouble :) Thanks!

Author: Thomas Clark	Giaccari, Luigi	That'is it Ifound Mister clark there is nothing wrong in my pc, maybe you should turn the profile off when you run a new test try this.

05 Oct 2007	OceanMap Manually enter matrix elements in a GUI, then save to a *.MAT file. Author: Thomas Clark	Clark, Tom	Michele, ActiveX objects do not (usually) have a visibility property. Nor can they be embedded in an uipanel (which of course may be hidden along with it's contents). The only way to hide activeX objects (that I know of) is to move them: >move(handle,[x y wdth ht]); check out the help on move for more info. Don't forget to save the original position so you can move it back! --- Kind Regards Tom
26 Jul 2007	OceanMap Manually enter matrix elements in a GUI, then save to a *.MAT file. Author: Thomas Clark	Micheli, Michele	Thank you! just a question: is it possible to Hide/unHide the FlexGrid control?
09 Jul 2007	OceanMap Manually enter matrix elements in a GUI, then save to a *.MAT file. Author: Thomas Clark	Perlovskiy, Eugene	Thank's for good example. However, I don't know how use the ColWidth property of flexArray. I want to exchange a column width in flexArray. Can you help me?
