Plankton blooms induced by turbulent flows.
Plankton play an important role in the ecology of the ocean and the climate because of their participation in the global carbon cycle at the base of the food chain. However, damaging plankton blooms can sometimes occur and are initially characterized by sudden transient increases in the phytoplankton population. They are thought to be driven by several effects, such as seasonal variations in te...
متن کاملLarge scale flow around turbulent spots
Numerical simulations of a model of plane Couette flow focusing on its in-plane spatio-temporal properties are used to study the dynamics of turbulent spots. While the core of a spot is filled with small scale velocity fluctuations, a large scale flow extending far away and occupying the full gap between the driving plates is revealed upon filtering out small scales. It is characterized by stre...
متن کاملLarge-Scale Unsteadiness in Compressible, Turbulent Flow
Large-scale unsteadiness lies at the heart of many of the design challenges associated with flight at high Mach numbers. Phenomena such as sound generation, fatigue loading, mixing, and separation are driven by turbulent motion on scales larger than the boundary layer thickness and longer than the boundary layer time scale /Ue,. This talk will focus on large-scale unsteadiness in attached a...
متن کاملPlankton lattices and the role of chaos in plankton patchiness.
Spatiotemporal and interspecies irregularities in planktonic populations have been widely observed. Much research into the drivers of such plankton patches has been initiated over the past few decades but only recently have the dynamics of the interacting patches themselves been considered. We take a coupled lattice approach to model continuous-in-time plankton patch dynamics, as opposed to the...
متن کاملConditions for patchiness in plankton models.
Plankton patchiness in homogeneous physical environments is studied in this paper assuming that all involved populations disperse diffusively. A recent but powerful sufficient condition for the emergence of spatial patterns in models with any number of species is systematically applied to all food chain and food web plankton models and the result is rather sharp: all models explicitly containin...
