Spring 2010
We report upon an experimental study of internal gravity waves generated by the large-amplitude vertical oscillations of a circular cylinder in uniformly stratified fluid. Quantitative measurements are performed using a modified synthetic schlieren technique for strongly stratified solutions of...

Fixed beds are widely used in the chemical and process industry due to their simple yet effective performance. They find applications in heterogeneous catalysis (e.g., dry reforming of methane, methanol synthesis, etc.) and in adsorption (hydrogen from steam methane reforming, post-combustion CO2...

Internal gravity waves transport energy and momentum in both the atmosphere and the ocean. This physical process occurs at such small length scales that it is not captured by coarse resolution numerical models of weather and climate. A series of experiments is presented that model the generation...

The presence of hydrodynamically generated air bubbles has been observed to enhance fine particle flotation in a high intensity agitation (HIA) flotation cell. In this study, the cavitation in an HIA cell, used in our laboratory, is studied by hydrodynamic computational fluid dynamics. Different...

Turbulence is a chaotic motion of fluid that can be described by the Navier--Stokes equations or even highly simplified shell models. Under the continuum limit, standard shell models of turbulence are shown to reduce to a common evolution equation that reproduces many predictions of the...

Nonlinear Evolution of Localized Internal Gravity Wave Packets: Theory and Simulations with Rotation, Background Flow, and Anelastic Effects
DownloadFall 2023
A series of three studies investigates theoretically and numerically the evolution, stability, and pseudomomentum transport of fully localized three-dimensional internal gravity wave packets, as they self-interact nonlinearly with their induced mean flow. The first study considers a rotating,...

As internal tides propagate in the ocean, they carry and dissipate energy over hundreds and even thousands of kilometers. We perform fully nonlinear simulations to examine the evolution of horizontally propagating, vertical mode-1 internal tides in non-uniformly stratified fluids, as it depends...

Numerical Simulations of Anelastic and Boussinesq Rotating Convection with Radial Entropy Gradient Boundary Conditions
DownloadFall 2017
Observations from the gas giants Jupiter or Saturn allow for researchers to construct geophysical fluid dynamical numerical models in an attempt to replicate the observed features. Most models aim at replicating the zonal jets and the eddies observed on these gas giants to understand how they are...

In modern cosmology, many efforts have been put to detect primordial B-mode of cosmic microwave background polarization from the gravitational waves generated during inflation. Considering the foreground dust contamination of microwave polarization maps, it is essential to obtain a precise...
