Alice’s plankton

October 5, 2021October 5, 2021 ~ enrico

Read about our recent work on planktonic population dynamics around an obstacle in open flow. It’s Alice Jaccod PhD work “Predator-prey plankton dynamics in turbulent wakes behind islands”, in collaboration with S. Chibbaro and S. Berti . Now published in Phys. Rev. Fluids [https://doi.org/10.1103/PhysRevFluids.6.103802] and also available on Arxiv  [ https://arxiv.org/abs/2105.05647 ].

Congrats Wenwei!

Bottom-heavy particles in turbulence

December 11, 2020December 11, 2020 ~ enrico

We have just wrapped up into a preprint, available on Arxiv http://arxiv.org/abs/2012.05571, our collaborative study on the dynamics motion of tiny non-spherical non-homogeneous particles in a turbulent flow. In the best tradition of modern science, we try to combine experiments, numerical simulations and some calculus prediction.
A short illustrative movie of the experiment is available here [Linfeng’s movie]

Wenwei’s paper on the competing effects of chemical reactions and turbulent advection is out, check it here: [@PRF journal]
