The three‐dimensional, crescentic morphology of a barchan dune induces secondary flows
and a complex vortex structure in its wake. In scenarios where barchans are in close …

The unsteady dynamics and induced turbulence associated with flow development of a fully-
submerged canopy with relatively low flexibility were explored experimentally under small …

The distinct turbulence dynamics and transport modulated by a common seagrass species
were investigated experimentally using a flexible surrogate canopy in a refractive-index …

Decimeter‐scale early‐stage aeolian bedforms represent topographic features that differ
notably from their mature dune counterparts, with nascent forms exhibiting more gently …

The dynamics of turbulent flow structures in the wakes of barchan dunes is investigated to
understand the complex, long-range interactions that occur between these three …

Boundary layer processes play a crucial role in establishing the circulation patterns of the
oceans and atmosphere, significantly affecting both regional and global climate, as well as …

Most fluvial vegetation canopies embody some degree of structural flexibility, resulting in
hydroelastic phenomena linking plant deformation and fluid flow. Quantification of such …

An experimental investigation into the flow produced by mound-bearing impact craters is
reported herein. Both an idealized crater and a scaled model of a real martian crater are …

A magnetically controlled spiral capsule robot is designed. When the robot is running in a
pipe filled with mucus, computational fluid dynamics is used to analyze the fluid field …

This dissertation tackles the complexities of characterizing flow and particle dynamics in
constrained environments by advancing 3D particle tracking techniques at micro and meso …
