Flow dynamics of a dandelion pappus: A linear stability approach

François Gallaire, Pier Giuseppe Ledda, Francesco Viola, Lorenzo Siconolfi

The study and control of flow instabilities is a key problem in aerodynamics. Aircrafts are designed not only to generate the lift force needed to balance their weight but, more importantly, to be stable and reasonably steady when in cruise conditions. Sim ...

Polyploidy and invasion success: trait trade-offs in native and introduced cytotypes of two Asteraceae species

Alexandre Buttler, François Gillet, Aurélie Thébault

Invasion success is favoured by the introduction of pre-adapted genotypes. In addition, novel pressures in the introduced range may lead to phenotypic changes related to fitness or competitive ability of introduced plants. Polyploidy appears to be over-rep ...

POLLEN CLUMPING AND WIND DISPERSAL IN AN INVASIVE ANGIOSPERM

Marc Parlange, Charles Vivant Ignacio Meneveau, Michael David Martin

Pollen dispersal is a fundamental aspect of plant reproductive biology that maintains connectivity between spatially separated populations. Pollen clumping, a characteristic feature of insect-pollinated plants, is generally assumed to be a detriment to win ...

Large eddy simulation of pollen transport in the atmospheric boundary layer

Marc Parlange, Charles Vivant Ignacio Meneveau

This paper presents a framework to simulate pollen dispersal by the wind based on the large eddy simulation(LES) technique. Important phenomena such as the pollen emission by the plants and the ground deposition are parameterized by the lower boundary cond ...
