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...

The Monaco Glacier reaches sea level on the north coast of Spitzbergen, Norway. The fresh water flowing under the glacier mixes with sea water and creates the turbulence visible in the photograph. This brings sea life to the surface and attracts thousands of sea birds to the area. August 2008

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,...

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...

Watt, Clare E. J., Wright, D. M. , Rankin, Robert, Rae, I. Jonathan
We present self-consistent kinetic simulations of the electron response to finite duration shear Alfven wave pulses in a magnetized plasma. In Earth's magnetosphere, the evidence suggests that parallel electric fields in inertial scale shear Alfven waves can accelerate electrons in the...

It has been well known that turbulent motions are ubiquitous in the interstellar medium. These motions are very important in governing various astrophysical processes like star formation. Both observational and numerical studies are important to understand turbulent motions, and a gap between...

This work contains investigations relevant for the study of catalytic chemical reactors using the detailed microkinetics approach, with the intent of improving the prediction of the product distribution. The study is comprised of two main topics. The first one consists of an investigation of...
