Loop Current influence on the connectivity of the West Florida Shelf and impacts on red tide events

P. Miron

We investigate the influence of the Loop Current (LC) on the connectivity of the Gulf of Mexico, with a focus on the West Florida Shelf (WFS), using in situ trajectories from satel…

Lagrangian coherence and source of water of Loop Current Frontal Eddies in the Gulf of Mexico

Luna Hiron, Philippe Miron, Lynn K. Shay +3

Loop Current Frontal Eddies (LCFEs) are known to intensify and assist in the Loop Current (LC) eddy shedding. These eddies can also modify the circulation in the eastern Gulf of Me…

Toward the detection of moving separation in unsteady flows

Philippe Miron, Jérôme Vétel

In many engineering systems operating with a working fluid, the best efficiency is reached close to a condition of flow separation, which makes its prediction very crucial in indus…

Transition paths of marine debris and the stability of the garbage patches

P. Miron, F. J. Beron-Vera, L. Helfmann +1

We used transition path theory (TPT) to infer "reactive" pathways of floating marine debris trajectories. The TPT analysis was applied on a pollution-aware time-homogeneous Markov…

Clustering of marine-debris- and \emph{Sargassum}-like drifters explained by inertial particle dynamics}

P. Miron, M. J. Olascoaga, F. J. Beron-Vera +4

Drifters designed to mimic floating marine debris and small patches of pelagic \emph{Sargassum} were satellite tracked in four regions across the North Atlantic. Though subjected t…

A minimal Maxey--Riley model for the drift of \emph{Sargassum} rafts

Francisco J Beron-Vera, Philippe Miron

Inertial particles (i.e. with mass and of finite size) immersed in a fluid in motion are unable to adapt their velocities to the carrying flow and thus they have been the subject o…
