On the interaction of ocean waves and turbulence
… breaking. Moreover, unique measurements of the Stokes drift and the Stokes harmonic coefficients showed remarkable agreement with high order irrotational Stokes theories. However, measured higher order Stokes coefficients were larger than the theoretical predictions. Nevertheless, general good …

Drift modelling of marine mammal carcases in coastal waters
A floating object’s drift is governed by its buoyancy, shape, and the wind, waves and currents it experiences. Here, I develop a drift modelling framework for marine mammal carcases in coastal waters. The resulting models were run forwards and backwards in time to provide insights into strategies …

Dynamics of Langmuir circulation in oceanic surface layers
… which goes as the surface stress times the Stokes drift.

The influence of topography on steady currents and internal waves
… which is equal hut opposite in sense to the Stokes drift. This causes the mean Lagrangian current to vanish so that the physical constraint that there be no net motion of fluid particles along isopycnals into the beach is satisfied. In addition, isotherms are distorted in a fashion analogous …

Exploiting the Interplay of Acoustic Waves and Fluid Motion for Particle Manipulation
… wave. With this external angular momentum and Stokes drift effect, we found the nanoparticles can be rapidly concentrated or differentially concentrated in one spinning droplet. Furthermore, we demonstrated that the single spinning droplet can serve as one unit that possesses a specific …
