Turbulent transport of algae in stably stratified rivers: a computational fluid dynamics study

In stably stratified shear flows, turbulent mixing is suppressed by the background stratification. In rivers, these conditions allow buoyant cyanobacteria to float to the surface an more...

Turbulent mixing in stably stratified flow: a laboratory and field based study

In stably stratified shear flows, turbulent mixing is suppressed by the background stratification. This project will examine this dynamic using laboratory experiments and field meas more...
