Turbulent diffusivity and effective rise velocity of buoyant particles in a free-surface boundary layer
Julio E. Chávez-Dorado, Lucia J. Baker, James J. Riley +1
Predicting the transport of buoyant particles in a free-surface boundary layer is important to the study of many environmental systems, including microplastics in the upper ocean.…

From spinning sea ice floes to ocean enstrophy spectra in the Marginal Ice Zone
Minki Kim, Georgy E. Manucharyan, Michelle H. DiBenedetto +3
Quantifying kinetic energy (KE) and enstrophy transfer, mixing, and dissipation in the Arctic Ocean is key to understanding polar ocean dynamics, which are critical components of t…

Preferential sampling enabled by particle finite size and anisotropic shape
Helena E. Schreder, Kartik Krishna, Steven L. Brunton +1
Anisotropic, finite-sized particles, common in environmental and industrial flows, exhibit complex dynamics distinct from those of small, spherical particles. Their shape introduce…
