The Southern Ocean is a critical component of Earth's climate system, but its remoteness makes it challenging to develop a holistic understanding of its processes from the small scale to the large scale. As a result, our knowledge of this vast region remai ...
2021Dynamics of wind-induced coastal upwelling and interbasin exchange in Lake Geneva during winter: Implications for deepwater renewal
Water quality in lakes is closely linked to hydrodynamics and often dominated by stratification, limiting the exchange between the epi- and hypolimnion. Thus, the vertical redistribution of biogeochemical tracers such as dissolved oxygen and nutrients by c ...
EPFL2021Evolution and decay of gravity wavefields in weak-rotating environments: a laboratory study
Gravity waves are prominent physical features that play a fundamental role in transport processes of stratified aquatic ecosystems. In a two-layer stratified basin, the equations of motion for the first vertical mode are equivalent to the linearised shallo ...
2018Influence of the Coriolis force on the structure and evolution of wind turbine wakes
Fernando Porté Agel, Mahdi Abkar
In this study, large-eddy simulation combined with a turbine model is used to investigate the effect of vertical wind veer associated with the Coriolis force on the structure and evolution of wind turbine wakes. In order to isolate the Coriolis effect on t ...
Amer Physical Soc2016Time-adaptive wind turbine model for an LES framework
Varun Sharma, Michael Lehning, Marc Parlange, Marc Calaf Bracons
Most large-eddy simulation studies related to wind energy have been carried out either by using a fixed pressure gradient to ensure that mean wind direction is perpendicular to the wind turbine rotor disk or by forcing the flow with a geostrophic wind and ...
Wiley-Blackwell2015Near-inertial waves in Lake Erie
Near-inertial (Poincare) waves with a period T-p similar to 17 h are the dominant wind-induced internal wave motions in central Lake Erie and consequently have a substantial influence on lake circulation, mixing and biogeochemistry. However, due to the com ...
American Society of Limnology and Oceanography2015On the mechanism of the Gent–McWilliams instability of a columnar vortex in stratified rotating fluids
In stably stratified and rotating fluids, an axisymmetric columnar vortex can be unstable to a special instability with an azimuthal wavenumber m=1 which bends and slices the vortex into pancake vortices (Gent & McWilliams Geophys. Astrophys. Fluid Dyn., v ...
2015Transport of variable-density solute plumes in beach aquifers in response to oceanic forcing
David Andrew Barry, Alessandro Brovelli, Roham Bakhtyar, Clare Robinson
A comprehensive numerical study was undertaken to investigate transport of a variable-density, conservative solute plume in an unconfined coastal aquifer subject to high and low frequency oceanic forcing. The model combined variable-density saturated flow ...
