  • Turbulence and biophysical fluxes in the near surface ocean

    Creator:
    Hoecker-Martínez, Martín
    Abstract:
    Vertical transports of plankton, momentum, heat, and turbulence are modeled. A novel integration of high resolution turbulence and biophysical modeling is used to show the influence of a Kelvin-Helmholtz instability on the vertical migration of simple gyrotactic organisms. A viscous limit on mixing driven by shear turbulence is proposed. Large...

  • Turbulence in sheared, salt-fingering favorable environment

    Creator:
    Kimura, Satoshi
    Abstract:
    Instability and turbulence in sheared, salt-fingering favorable stratification are studied using three-dimensional direct numerical simulations (DNS). Salt-fingering favorable stratification is gravitationally stable, because the unstable vertical gradient of salinity is stabilized by temperature (warm, salty over cool, fresh water-masses). Salt-fingering instability can occur at the interface of these different water-masses....

  • Prediction of Initial Mixing for Municipal Ocean Discharges

    Creator:
    Teeter, Allan M. and Baumgartner, D. J.
    Abstract:
    The purpose of this report is to present procedures by which applicants and reviewers can calculate initial dilution and describe the zone of initial dilution surrounding the discharge site. These calculations would be required under regulations proposed by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency on April 25, 1978 (1) implementing section...
