Bio/Research
My research employs both theoretical and numerical techniques to study fluid turbulence in the atmosphere and oceans. This includes the statistical nature of the flow as a function of rotation and stratification. The simplifying assumptions employed at larger scales, that rotation and stratification terms in the governing equations are predominant and approximately balanced by other terms, become invalid at smaller scales. The interactions between large-scale vortices and more general turbulent and wave motions are therefore the subject of these studies, as is the effect on the turbulent transport of passive scalars such as pollutants or ozone.
