Spatial inhomogeneities in the sedimentation of biogenic particles in ocean flows: analysis in the Benguela region
Pedro Monroy, Gabor Drotos, Emilio Hernandez-Garcia +1
Sedimentation of particles in the ocean leads to inhomogeneous horizontal distributions at depth, even if the release process is homogeneous. We study this phenomenon considering a…
Inhomogeneities and caustics in the sedimentation of noninertial particles in incompressible flows
Gábor Drótos, Pedro Monroy, Emilio Hernández-García +1
In an incompressible flow, fluid density remains invariant along fluid element trajectories. This implies that the spatial distribution of non-interacting noninertial particles in…
Modeling the dynamical sinking of biogenic particles in oceanic flow
Pedro Monroy, Emilio Hernández-García, Vincent Rossi +1
We study the problem of sinking particles in a realistic oceanic flow, with major energetic structures in the mesoscale, focussing in the range of particle sizes and densities appr…
Universal behavior of crystalline membranes: crumpling transition and Poisson ratio of the flat phase
R. Cuerno, R Gallardo Caballero, A. Gordillo-Guerrero +2
We revisit the universal behavior of crystalline membranes at and below the crumpling transition, which pertains to the mechanical properties of important soft and hard matter mate…
