Cumulative compressibility effects on population dynamics in turbulent flows
Prasad Perlekar, Roberto Benzi, David R. Nelson +1
Bacteria and plankton populations living in oceans and lakes reproduce and die under the in- fluence of turbulent currents. Turbulent transport interacts in a complex way with the…
Polymer Effects on Heat Transport in Laminar Boundary Layer Flow
Roberto Benzi, Emily S. C. Ching, Vivien W. S. Chu
We consider a laminar Blasius boundary-layer flow above a slightly heated horizontal plate and study the effect of polymer additives on the heat transport. We show that the action…
Heat transport by laminar boundary layer flow with polymers
Roberto Benzi, Emily S. C. Ching., Vivien W. S. Chu
Motivated by recent experimental observations, we consider a steady-state Prandtl-Blasius boundary layer flow with polymers above a slightly heated horizontal plate and study how t…
Stochastic Resonance in a simple model of magnetic reversals
Roberto Benzi, Jean-Francois Pinton
We discuss the effect of stochastic resonance in a simple model of magnetic reversals. The model exhibits statistically stationary solutions and bimodal distribution of the large s…
