Should we care about the spatial heterogeneity in coral reefs under unidirectional turbulent flows?
Akshay Patil, Clara García-Sánchez
In this work, we systematically investigate the similarities and differences observed between a hydraulically rough wall comprised of an array of cylinders, massive corals, and bra…
Hydrodynamics of In-Canopy Flow in Synthetically Generated Coral Reefs Under Oscillatory Wave Motion
Akshay Patil, Clara García-Sánchez
The interaction of oscillatory wave motion with morphologically complex coral reefs showcases a wide range of consequential hydrodynamic responses within the canopy. While a large…
A Comparative Hydrodynamic Characterization of the Flow Through Regular and Stochastically Generated Synthetic Coral Reefs Over Flat Topography
Akshay Patil, Clara García-Sánchez
Coral reefs are vital to marine ecosystems, supporting biodiversity and driving nutrient cycling. Despite significant research on the interaction between surface waves and natural…
Fake it till you make it: using artificial turbulence to achieve swift converged turbulence statistics in a pressure-driven channel flow
Akshay Patil, Clara García-Sánchez
In this study, we introduced a simple yet innovative method to trigger turbulence in a channel flow to achieve statistically stationary flow conditions. We compare this new method…
