Cause-and-effect of linear mechanisms sustaining wall turbulence

Adrián Lozano-Durán, Navid C. Constantinou, Marios-Andreas Nikolaidis +1

Despite the nonlinear nature of turbulence, there is evidence that part of the energy-transfer mechanisms sustaining wall turbulence can be ascribed to linear processes. The differ…

Alternative physics to understand wall turbulence: Navier-Stokes equations with modified linear dynamics

Adrán Lozano-Durán, Marios-Andreas Nikolaidis, Navid C. Constantinou +1

Despite the nonlinear nature of wall turbulence, there is evidence that the energy-injection mechanisms sustaining wall turbulence can be ascribed to linear processes. The differen…

The Nusselt numbers of horizontal convection

Cesar. B. Rocha, Navid C. Constantinou, Stefan G. Llewellyn Smith +1

We consider the problem of horizontal convection in which non-uniform buoyancy, , is imposed on the top surface of a container and all other surfaces are insulating…

Eddy saturation of the Southern Ocean: a baroclinic versus barotropic perspective

Navid C. Constantinou, Andrew McC. Hogg

"Eddy saturation" is the regime in which the total time-mean volume transport of an oceanic current is relatively insensitive to the wind stress forcing and is often invoked as a d…

Kinetic energy of eddy-like features from sea surface altimetry

Josué Martínez-Moreno, Andrew McC. Hogg, Andrew E. Kiss +2

The mesoscale eddy field plays a key role in the mixing and transport of physical and biological properties and redistribute energy budgets in the ocean. Eddy kinetic energy is com…

Accounting for Skill in Trend, Variability, and Autocorrelation Facilitates Better Multi-Model Projections: Application to the AMOC and Temperature Time Series

Roman Olson, Soon-Il An, Yanan Fan +1

We present a novel quasi-Bayesian method to weight multiple dynamical models by their skill at capturing both potentially non-linear trends and first-order autocorrelated variabili…

Magnetic suppression of zonal flows on a beta plane

Navid C. Constantinou, Jeffrey B. Parker

Zonal flows in rotating systems have been previously shown to be suppressed by the imposition of a background magnetic field aligned with the direction of rotation. Understanding t…
