Journal of Fluid Mechanics Webinar Series: Guohua Wang, China and Keith Moffatt, UK
Speaker: Guohua Wang, Lanzhou University, China Date/Time: Friday 18th June 2021 4:00pm BST/11am EDT Title: Very-large scale motions in the atmospheric surface layer Abstract: Very-large scale motions (VLSMs) are typical structures in wall-bounded turbulence at high Reynolds number, which make important contributions to mass and energy transport. This talk will present the atmospheric surface layer observations carried out at…
Journal of Fluid Mechanics Webinar Series: Jane Bae, USA and Axel Huerre, France
Speaker: Jane Bae, Harvard University, USA Date/Time: Friday 11th June 2021 4:00pm BST/11am EDT Title: Nonlinear interaction of the self-sustaining process in the near-wall region of wall-bounded turbulence Abstract: We investigate the nonlinear interaction in the self-sustaining process of wall-bounded turbulence. Resolvent analysis is used to identify the principal forcing (nonlinear) mode which produces the maximum amplification in direct…
Journal of Fluid Mechanics Webinar Series: Laura Cope, UK and Hugues Faller, France
Speaker: Laura Cope, Cambridge University, UK Date/Time: Friday 4th June 2021 4:00pm BST/11am EDT Title: The dynamics of stratified horizontal shear flows at low Péclet number Abstract: Stratified flows are ubiquitous; examples include atmospheres and oceans in geophysics and stellar interiors in astrophysics. The interaction of a stable stratification with a background velocity distribution can develop into stratified…
Journal of Fluid Mechanics Webinar Series: Chris Howland, Netherlands and Shingo Motoki, Japan
Speaker: Chris Howland, University of Twente, Netherlands Date/Time: Friday 28th May 2021 4:00pm BST/11am EST Title: Quantifying mixing in simulations of stratified flows Abstract: Turbulent mixing exerts a significant influence on many physical processes in the ocean. In a stably stratified Boussinesq fluid, this irreversible mixing describes the conversion of available potential energy (APE) to background potential energy (BPE)….
