Transition to turbulence in wind-drift layers
Gregory LeClaire Wagner, Nick Pizzo, Luc Lenain +1
A light breeze rising over calm water initiates an intricate chain of events that culminates in a centimeters-deep turbulent shear layer capped by gravity-capillary ripples. At fir…
An asymptotic model for the propagation of oceanic internal tides through quasi-geostrophic flow
Gregory L. Wagner, Gwenael Ferrando, William R. Young
Starting from the hydrostatic Boussinesq equations, we derive a time-averaged `hydrostatic wave equation' that describes the propagation of inertia-gravity internal waves through q…
Mixing by microorganisms in stratified fluids
Gregory L. Wagner, William R. Young, Eric Lauga
We examine the vertical mixing induced by the swimming of microorganisms at low Reynolds and Péclet numbers in a stably stratified ocean, and show that the global contribution of o…
