Turbulence induces clustering and segregation of non-motile, buoyancy-regulating phytoplankton
Matteo Borgnino, Jorge Arrieta, Guido Boffetta +2
Turbulence plays a major role in shaping marine community structure as it affects organism dispersal and guides fundamental ecological interactions. Below oceanographic mesoscale d…
Gyrotactic phytoplankton in laminar and turbulent flows: a dynamical systems approach
Massimo Cencini, Guido Boffetta, Matteo Borgnino +1
Gyrotactic algae are bottom heavy, motile cells whose swimming direction is determined by a balance between a buoyancy torque directing them upwards and fluid velocity gradients. G…
Measuring surface gravity waves using a Kinect sensor
F. Toselli, F. De Lillo, M. Onorato +1
We present a technique for measuring the two-dimensional surface water wave elevation both in space and time based on the low-cost Microsoft Kinect sensor. We discuss the capabilit…
Laminar-turbulent boundary in plane Couette flow
Tobias M Schneider, John F Gibson, Maher Lagha +2
We apply the iterated edge state tracking algorithm to study the boundary between laminar and turbulent dynamics in plane Couette flow at Re=400. Perturbations that are not strong…
