Certain marine bacteria found in the near-surface layer of the ocean are expected to play
important roles in the production and decay of surface active materials; however, the details …

Despite significant improvement in computational and observational capabilities, predicting
intensity and intensification of major tropical cyclones remains a challenge. In 2017 …

The sea surface microlayer (SML) is the upper 1 mm of the ocean, where Earth's
biogeochemical processes occur between the ocean and atmosphere. It is …

In this contribution, a detailed investigation of surface thermal patterns on the water surface
is presented, with wind speeds ranging from 1 to 7 ms− 1 and various surface conditions …

We conducted high-resolution non-hydrostatic numerical simulations to study the effect of
surfactants on near-surface turbulence. Laboratory experiments at the UM RSMAS ASIST …

At the free wind-sheared water surface, various turbulence producing mechanisms
contribute significantly to enhanced transfer rates of heat and gas across the air-water …

It is well known that elastic or compliant boundaries can have a stabilizing effect on
boundary layer flow leading to a reduction in turbulence and frictional drag. This …

The potential for hydrodynamic drag reduction using small-scale actuation to influence
turbulent boundary layer flow is investigated. When coupled with lab data, numerical …

In recent years, there has been a renewed interest in mechanisms of flow and turbulence
control inspired by aquatic animals. This includes passive mechanisms such as the …

Tropical cyclone intensity prediction remains a challenge despite computational and
observational developments because successful intensity forecasting requires implementing …
