Reducing transport via extreme flux-surface triangularity

Based on a gyrokinetic analysis of and extrapolation from TCV discharges with large negative and positive triangularity delta, the potential of extreme | delta | in reducing turbulent transport is assessed. Linearly, both positive and negative delta can ex ...

Unraveling submesoscale processes associated with meso- and basin-scale gyres in Lake Geneva

Seyed Mahmood Hamze Ziabari

In large lakes, basin-scale gyres and submesoscale eddies, i.e., rotating coherent water masses, play a key role in spreading biochemical materials and energy throughout the basin, thereby significantly impacting water quality. Due to their transient and s ...

Snow transport in extreme environments: from small to large scale modeling

Daniela Brito Melo

The cold regions on Earth, such as the polar and high mountain regions, are snow covered for at least a part of the year. These snow-covered surfaces are highly dynamic, particularly under the influence of strong winds. The aeolian or wind-driven transport ...

Basin-scale gyres and mesoscale eddies in large lakes: A novel procedure for their detection and characterization, assessed in Lake Geneva

David Andrew Barry, Ulrich Lemmin, Seyed Mahmood Hamze Ziabari, Frédéric Charles Soulignac, Mehrshad Foroughan

In large lakes subject to the Coriolis force, basin-scale gyres and mesoscale eddies, i.e. rotating coherent water masses, play a key role in spreading biochemical materials and energy throughout the lake. In order to assess the spatial and temporal extent ...

Dynamics of wind-induced coastal upwelling and interbasin exchange in Lake Geneva during winter: Implications for deepwater renewal

Rafael Sebastian Reiss

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 ...

Wintertime Coastal Upwelling in Lake Geneva: An Efficient Transport Process for Deepwater Renewal in a Large, Deep Lake

David Andrew Barry, Ulrich Lemmin, Andrea Cimatoribus, Rafael Sebastian Reiss

Combining field measurements, 3‐D numerical modeling, and Lagrangian particle tracking, we investigated wind‐driven, Ekman‐type coastal upwelling during the weakly stratified winter period 2017/2018 in Lake Geneva, Western Europe's largest lake (max. depth ...

Gyre formation in open and deep lacustrine embayments: The example of Lake Geneva, Switzerland

David Andrew Barry, Alfred Johny Wüest, Ulrich Lemmin, Damien Bouffard, Amir Mehdi Razmi, Robert Eduard Uittenbogaard

Numerical simulations were carried out to investigate gyres within open lacustrine embayments subjected to parallel-to-shore currents. In such embayments, gyre formation occurs due to flow separation at the embayment’s upstream edge. High momentum fluid fr ...

Buoyant Turbulent Kinetic Energy Production in Steep-Slope Katabatic Flow

Marc Parlange, Chad Higgins, Holly Jayne Oldroyd, Eric Richard Pardyjak

We develop several critical concepts that should be considered when interpreting, modelling and designing future experiments for flows over sloping terrain. Vertical buoyancy fluxes in katabatic flows can be positive and a source of turbulent kinetic energ ...

Drivers of deep-water renewal events observed over 13 years in the South Basin of Lake Baikal

Alfred Johny Wüest, Martin Schmid

Lake Baikal, with a depth of 1637 m, is characterized by deep-water intrusions that bridge the near-surface layer to the hypolimnion. These episodic events transfer heat and oxygen over large vertical scales and maintain the permanent temperature stratifie ...

Stratification, mixing and transport processes in Lake Kivu

Alfred Johny Wüest, Martin Schmid

This chapter summarizes the knowledge on mixing and transport processes in Lake Kivu. Seasonal mixing, which varies in intensity from year to year, influences the top â ¼65 m. Below, the lake is permanently stratified, with density increasing stepwise from ...
