Large Eddy Simulations of Hydraulically-Controlled Exchange Flows

Abstract

My long term interests are in identifying important mixing processes in the coastal ocean and understanding their interaction with mesoscale processes. The objectives of this program are to better understand the influence of friction and mixing at internal hydraulic controls. Inviscid theory makes predictions which have proved difficult to apply quantitatively and we seek to understand if neglect of viscosity and diffusion can alleviate these problems. Another aspect of my work is to finalize acoustic doppler current profiler (ADCP) datasets from the Coastal Mixing and Optics (CMO) program.
