Wave erosion of ice cliffs: melt rate due to reflection of non-breaking surface waves

Anya Wolterman, Till J. W. Wagner, Lucas K. Zoet +1

Wave erosion of ice cliffs is one of the main mechanisms for waterline ice melt for icebergs, glacier fronts, and ice-shelf fronts. Despite its importance, this process is fundamen…

Swash flow due to obliquely incident bores

Hyungyu Sung, Pedro Lomonaco, Patricia Chardon-Maldonado +4

We present a new solution to the nonlinear shallow water equations and show that it accurately predicts the swash flow due to obliquely approaching bores in large-scale wave basin…

Helical Ribbons: Simple Chiral Sedimentation

Elias Huseby, Josephine Gissinger, Fabien Candelier +4

We investigate the sedimentation of chiral particles in viscous fluid flow. We identify helical ribbons as simple particles with strong translation-rotation coupling whose symmetry…

Homogeneous turbulence in a random-jet-stirred tank

Joo Young Bang, Nimish Pujara

We report an investigation into random-jet-stirred homogeneous turbulence generated in a vertical octagonal prism shaped tank where there are jet arrays on four of the eight vertic…

Beaching model for buoyant marine debris in bore-driven swash

Benjamin Davidson, Jamie Brenner, Nimish Pujara

Marine debris pollution is a growing problem impacting aquatic ecosystems, coastal recreation, and human society. Beaches are known to be a sink for debris, and beaching needs to b…

Wave-averaged motion of small particles in surface gravity waves: effect of particle shape on orientation, drift, and dispersion

Nimish Pujara, Jean-Luc Thiffeault

Particles such as microplastics and phytoplankton suspended in the water column in the natural environment are often subject to the action of surface gravity waves. By modelling su…

Microswimmer trapping in surface waves with shear

Francesco Michele Ventrella, Nimish Pujara, Guido Boffetta +3

Many species of phytoplankton migrate vertically near the surface of the ocean, either in search of light or nutrients. These motile organisms are affected by ocean waves at the su…

Reaching for the surface: Spheroidal microswimmers in surface gravity waves

Kunlin Ma, Nimish Pujara, Jean-Luc Thiffeault

Microswimmers (planktonic microorganisms or artificial active particles) immersed in a fluid interact with the ambient flow, altering their trajectories. In surface gravity waves,…

Rotations of small, inertialess triaxial ellipsoids in isotropic turbulence

Nimish Pujara, Evan Variano

The statistics of rotational motion of small, inertialess triaxial ellipsoids are computed along Lagrangian trajectories extracted from direct numerical simulations of homogeneous…
