    • Confined rotating convection with large Prandtl number: centrifugal effects on wall modes 

      Curbelo Hernández, Jezabel; López Moscat, Juan Manuel; Mancho Sánchez, Ana María; Marqués Truyol, Francisco (2014-01-23)
      Article
      Open Access
      Thermal convection in a rotating cylinder with a radius-to-height aspect ratio of G=4 for fluids with large Prandtl number is studied numerically. Centrifugal buoyancy effects are investigated in a regime where the Coriolis ...
    • Mixing and geometry in the North Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation 

      Bruera Méndez, Renzo; Curbelo Hernández, Jezabel; García Sánchez, Guillermo; Mancho Sánchez, Ana María (John Wiley & sons, 2023-04-16)
      Article
      Open Access
      Vertical motions across the ocean are central to processes, like CO2 fixation, heat removal or pollutant transport, which are essential to the Earth's climate. This work explores 3D conveyor routes associated with the ...
    • Transport pathways across the West African Monsoon as revealed by Lagrangian coherent structures 

      Niang, Coumba; Mancho Sánchez, Ana María; García Garrido, Victor José; Mohino, Elsa; Rodriguez Fonseca, Belén; Curbelo Hernández, Jezabel (Nature, 2020-07-27)
      Article
