The spindown of a geostrophically balanced density front in an upper-ocean mixed layer is simulated with a large eddy simulation (LES) model that resolves O(1000) m down to O(1) m scale. Our goal is to examine the interaction between the…
Drifters deployed in close proximity collectively provide a unique observational data set with which to separate mesoscale and submesoscale flows. In this paper we provide a principled approach for doing so by fitting observed velocities to…
Machine learning (ML) can represent processes unresolved in coarse-resolution Earth system models (ESMs) by learning from high-resolution climate data. Such ML parameterization approaches have been primarily tested in idealized setups where…
Site-specific flow and turbulence information are needed for various practical applications, ranging from aerodynamic/aeroelastic modeling for wind turbine design to optical diffraction calculations. Even though highly desirable, collecting…
The interaction among quasi-geostrophic mesoscale eddies, submesoscale fronts, and boundary layer turbulence (BLT) is a central problem in upper ocean dynamics. We investigate these multiscale dynamics using a novel large-eddy simulation on…
Submesoscale currents in the oceanic mixed layer, comprising fronts, eddies, and filaments, are characterized by $\textit{O}(1)$ Rossby numbers (Ro). These features, which constantly interact with background mesoscale flows and boundary…
Parameterizations of O(1-10)km submesoscale flows in General Circulation Models (GCMs) represent the effects of unresolved vertical buoyancy fluxes in the ocean mixed layer. These submesoscale flows interact non-linearly with mesoscale and…
Numerical prediction of the interactions between wind and ocean waves is essential for climate modeling and a wide range of offshore operations. Large Eddy Simulation (LES) of the marine atmospheric boundary layer is a practical numerical…
This article investigates penetrative turbulence in the atmospheric boundary layer. Using a large eddy simulation approach, we study characteristics of the mixed layer with respect to surface heat flux variations in the range from 231.48…
Observations of brown dwarfs and relatively isolated young extrasolar giant planets have provided unprecedented details to probe atmospheric dynamics in a new regime. Questions about mechanisms governing global circulation remain to be…
In wall-modeled large-eddy simulations (WMLES), the near-wall model plays a significant role in predicting the skin friction, although the majority of the boundary layer is resolved by the outer large-eddy simulation (LES) solver. In this…
We map molecular dynamics simulations of fluid-fluid interfaces onto mesoscale continuum theories for partially miscible fluids. Unlike most previous work, we examine not only the interface order parameter and density profiles, but also the…
Most chemistry and cloud formation models for planetary atmospheres adopt a one-dimensional (1D) diffusion approach to approximate the global-mean vertical tracer transport. The physical underpinning of the key parameter in this framework,…
In Zhang $\&$ Showman (2018, hereafter Paper I), we developed an analytical theory of 1D eddy diffusivity $K_{zz}$ for global-mean vertical tracer transport in a 3D atmosphere. We also presented 2D numerical simulations on fast-rotating…
The ultimate goal of a sound theory of turbulence in fluids is to close in a rational way the Reynolds equations, namely to express the tensor of turbulent stress as a function of the time average of the velocity field. Based on the idea…
The mesoscale structure of aeolian sand transport determines a variety of natural phenomena studied in planetary and Earth science. We analyze it theoretically beyond the mean-field level, based on the grain-scale transport kinetics and…
Adverse weather removal tasks like deraining, desnowing, and dehazing are usually treated as separate tasks. However, in practical autonomous driving scenarios, the type, intensity,and mixing degree of weather are unknown, so handling each…
A bypass transition scenario in a wind-stress driven aqueous flow is analysed using a temporally developing boundary layer model with accelerating surface drift velocity. The parameters of the model are selected to mimic a wave-tank…
Surface heterogeneity, particularly complex patterns of surface heating, significantly influences mesoscale atmospheric flows, yet observational constraints and modeling limitations have hindered comprehensive understanding and model…
We study experimentally and theoretically mixing at the external boundary of a submerged turbulent jet. In the experimental study we use Particle Image Velocimetry and an Image Processing Technique based on the analysis of the intensity of…
