Statistical State Dynamics of Large-Scale Structure Formation in Shallow Water Magnetohydrodynamic Turbulence
Eojin Kim, Brian F. Farrell
Zonal jets (ZJ) are prominent coherent structures that spontaneously emerge from the background turbulent state in both stellar and planetary atmospheres. Although formation and ma…
Statistical State Dynamics Based Study of the Turbulent Ekman Layer
Eojin Kim, Brian F. Farrell
Streamwise roll and streak structures (RSS) are prominent features observed in both atmospheric and oceanic planetary boundary layers (PBL) as well as in laboratory scale Wall boun…
Statistical State Dynamics of Couette MHD Turbulence
Eojin Kim, Brian F. Farrell
The roll streak structure (RSS) is ubiquitous in shear flow turbulence and is fundamental to the dynamics of the self-sustaining process (SSP) maintaining the turbulent state. The…
Statistical State Dynamics based study of Langmuir Turbulence
Eojin Kim, Brian F. Farrell
The dynamics of the ocean mixed layer is of central importance in determining the fluxes of momentum, heat, gases, and particulates between the ocean and the atmosphere. A prominen…
Statistical state dynamics based study of turbulent Eady fronts. Part 2. Finite amplitude equilibria
Eojin Kim, Brian F. Farrell
Streamwise roll circulations commonly observed in frontal regions are primary agents of momentum and tracer transport in the planetary boundary layer (PBL) both in the atmosphere a…
Statistical State Dynamics based study of turbulence in Eady fronts. Part 1. Instability
Eojin Kim, Brian F. Farrell
The streamwise roll and streak structure (RSS) is prominent in observations of the planetary boundary layer in the atmosphere and ocean and in unstratified wall-bounded shear flows…
