The present study compares the performances and reliabilities of the classical Mobile – Immobile Model (MIM) and the Explicit Network Model (ENM) that takes expressly into account the network geometry for describing tracer ...

We discuss a taxonomy of different dynamical featuresin the ocean surface and provide some eddy and frontstatistics, as well as describing some events detected byseveral satellites and even with additional cruise observationsand ...

The oil pollution of Gulf of Lion in the NW Mediterranean has been studied with SAR images during the period 1999 -2005. We have analyzed these SAR images with respect to other surface features such as wind, river plumes, ...

We study numerically the comparison between Lagrangian experiments on turbulent particle dispersion in 2-D turbulent flows performed, on the one hand, on the basis of direct numerical simulations (DNS) and, on the ...

Plume and Jets are released in an enclosed volume of water and depending on the initial and environmental conditions, the global mixing efficiency of the overall process is measured. The behaviour of individual plumes is ...

Turbulence affects molecular mixing in a large variety of physical processes both in the environment, in astrophysics and in industrial situations. In some events it is interesting to enhance the transport of mass, heat, ...

The interaction between multiple scales in nature and mainly in turbulent flows produces fractals or multifractal structures. We use multi-fractal analysis to investigate the scales and influence of stratification in ...

The study of particle diffusion and of turbulent sedimentation is of great importance in many geophysical fields, such as in Environmental Science or Oceanography as well as in Bio-environmental and industrial processes. ...

The main aim of this research is to understand and describe key aspects of the structure of turbulent jets and plumes and their interaction with coherent structures together with the effects connected with them (for example ...
