Using the Taylor--Couette geometry we experimentally investigate the effect of salt on drag reduction caused by bubbles present in the flow. We combine torque measurements with optical high-speed imaging to relate the bubble size to the…
Sudden Stratospheric Warmings (SSW) affect the chemistry and dynamics of the middle atmosphere. Major warmings occur roughly every second winter in the Northern Hemisphere (NH), but has only been observed once in the Southern Hemisphere…
How do solute concentration and molecular chemistry govern the transition from membrane saturation to destabilization? We address this using microsecond-scale molecular dynamics simulations of dipalmitoylphosphatidylcholine (DPPC) bilayers…
Main sequence M stars pose an interesting problem for astrobiology: their abundance in our galaxy makes them likely targets in the hunt for habitable planets, but their strong chromospheric activity produces high energy radiation and…
We investigate the effect of star formation on turbulence in the Orion A and Ophiuchus clouds using principal component analysis (PCA). We measure the properties of turbulence by applying PCA on the spectral maps in $^{13}$CO, C$^{18}$O,…
Water quality is of great importance for humans and for the environment and has to be monitored continuously. It is determinable through proxies such as the chlorophyll a concentration, which can be monitored by remote sensing techniques.…
Turbulence is indispensable to redistribute nutrients for all life forms larger than microbial, on land and in the ocean. Yet, the development of deep-sea turbulence was not studied in three dimensions to date. As a disproportionate…
Saltation threshold, the minimum wind speed for sediment transport, is a fundamental parameter in aeolian processes. The presence of liquid, such as water on Earth or methane on Titan, may affect the threshold values to a great extent.…
Chlorine (Cl) is a chemical element of the group of the halogens and is between the 17th and the 20th most abundant elements in the Solar System. It is thought to be produced from the capture of a proton or neutron by specific alpha-element…
In the presence of a laminar shear flow, the diffusion of passive colloidal particles is enhanced in the direction parallel to the flow. This classical phenomenon is known as Taylor-Aris dispersion. Besides, microorganisms, such as active…
According to the analysis of the $^{14}$C content of two Japanese trees over a period of approximately 3000 years at high time resolution, Miyake (2012) found a rapid increase at AD 774-775 and later on at AD 992-993 (Miyake 2013). This…
The outbreaks of algal blooms occur in both shallow and deep-water bodies. To compare the characteristics of algal blooms in the shallow and deep water, we consider the Arabian Gulf and Sea of Oman as a case study. While the Arabian Gulf is…
Solid mineral-based particles have been proposed as alternatives to sulfates for climate intervention by stratospheric aerosol injection, as a means for improving optical or chemical characteristics and thereby minimize risks and…
The Model Coupling Executable Library (MCEL), developed at the University of Southern Mississippi's Center of Higher Learning, has been successfully used to couple the Coupled Ocean/Atmospheric Mesoscale Prediction System (COAMPS) and the…
The role of compressible fluctuations in the energy cascade of fast solar wind turbulence is studied using a reduced form of an exact law derived recently (Banerjee and Galtier, PRE, 2013) for compressible isothermal magnetohydrodynamics…
Thermal behaviors of hydroxypropyl cellulose dilute aqueous solutions with impurities of Group~I alkali metal ions (Li, Na, K, Rb and Cs chlorides) has been studied by means of static and dynamic light scattering measurements. From the…
As a long-term energy source, tidal heating in subsurface oceans of icy satellites can influence their thermal, rotational, and orbital evolution, and the sustainability of oceans. We present a new theoretical treatment for tidal heating in…
Cyclone Amphan, a super cyclone in the Bay of Bengal after 21 years, intensified from a cyclonic storm (CAT 1) to a super cyclone (CAT 5) in less than 36 hours. It went on to make landfall over West Bengal as a Very Severe Cyclonic Storm…
We demonstrate that the permeability of the cell wall of microalga $\textit{C. reinhardtii}$ can be enhanced in controlled microstreaming flow conditions using single bubbles adherent to a wall and driven by ultrasound near their resonance…
Instability mechanism based on Coriolis force, on a rapidly rotating portable device handling shear thinning fluids such as blood, is of utmost importance for eventual detection of diseases by mixing with the suitable reagents. Motivated by…
