Read about our recent work on planktonic population dynamics around an obstacle in open flow. It’s Alice Jaccod PhD work “Predator-prey plankton dynamics in turbulent wakes behind islands”, in collaboration with S. Chibbaro and S. Berti . Now published in Phys. Rev. Fluids [https://doi.org/10.1103/PhysRevFluids.6.103802] and also available on Arxiv [ https://arxiv.org/abs/2105.05647 ].
The shape of ice

From our new preprint “Ice front shaping by upward convective current” with Ziqi Wang, Linfeng Jiang, Yihong Du, Chao Sun, Enrico Calzavarini [ https://arxiv.org/abs/2012.12078 ] and [ Phys. Rev. Fluids S6, L091501 (2021) ]
A slow but very elastic flow

The last preprint on Himani’s PhD work is out: Statistical properties of two-dimensional elastic turbulence, Himani Garg, Enrico Calzavarini and Stefano Berti , http://arxiv.org/abs/2104.08951
Ice on the water

Bottom-heavy particles in turbulence
We have just wrapped up into a preprint, available on Arxiv http://arxiv.org/abs/2012.05571, our collaborative study on the dynamics motion of tiny non-spherical non-homogeneous particles in a turbulent flow. In the best tradition of modern science, we try to combine experiments, numerical simulations and some calculus prediction.
A short illustrative movie of the experiment is available here [Linfeng’s movie]
A geophysical detour
A strange kind of teaching
Slightly out of equilibrium
Wenwei’s paper on the competing effects of chemical reactions and turbulent advection is out, check it here: [@PRF journal]
