On the structure and dynamics of stratified wakes generated by submerged propagating objects
(Taylor & Francis, 2017)
The structure and intensity of the intermediate wake generated by a submerged propagating body in a stratified fluid was studied using a combination of (i) numerical simulations, (ii) field measurements, and (iii) laboratory ...

Playing pool on the beta-plane: how weak initial perturbations predetermine the long-term evolution of coherent vortices
(Cambridge University Press, 2021-02-04)
This study explores the long-term impact of a weak initial departure from circular
symmetry in coherent equivalent-barotropic vortices on their dynamics and evolution.
An algorithm is developed which makes it possible ...
Control of baroclinic instability by submesoscale topography
(Cambridge University Press, 2020)
This study explores the control of mesoscale variability by topographic features with lateral scales that are less than the scale of the eddies generated by baroclinic instability. These dynamics are described using a ...
Instabilities of a Time-Dependent Shear Flow
(AMS, 2019-09)
This study offers a systematic stability analysis of unsteady shear flows representing large-scale, lowfrequency internal waves in the ocean. The analysis is based on the unbounded time-dependent Couette model.
This setup ...
Dynamic and Double-Diffusive Instabilities in a Weak Pycnocline. Part II: Direct Numerical Simulations and Flux Laws
(2014)
This study examines the interaction of diffusive convection and shear through a series of 2D and 3D direct numerical simulations (DNS). The model employed is based on the Boussinesq equations of motion with oscillating ...
Double-Diffusive Convection
(WHOI, 2008)
Even in systems with a negative vertical density gradient, instability is possible if the density is controlled by two components (e.g. temperature T and salinity S) that diffuse at different rates [24]. In the oceans, ...
Effects of weak planetary rotation on the stability and dynamics of internal stratified jets
(2018)
This study explores the stability characteristics and nonlinear evolution of internal jets in rotating stratified fluids using a combination of direct numerical simulations and linear instability analyses. Our ultimate ...
