Turbulence observations beneath Larsen C ice shelf, Antarctica

PED Davis, KW Nicholls - Journal of Geophysical Research …, 2019 - Wiley Online Library
Increased ocean‐driven basal melting beneath Antarctic ice shelves causes grounded ice to

Quantifying small-scale anisotropy in turbulent flows

S Chowdhuri, T Banerjee - Physical Review Fluids, 2024 - APS
The verification of whether small-scale turbulence is isotropic remains a grand challenge.
The difficulty arises because the presence of small-scale anisotropy is tied to the dissipation …
