Journal Article
Valha, J., Lewis, J. S., & Kubie, J. (2002). A numerical study of the behaviour of a gas-liquid interface subjected to periodic vertical motion. International Journal for Numerical Methods in Fluids, 40, 697-721. https://doi.org/10.1002/fld.370

A numerical study has been undertaken to examine the behaviour of a gas liquid interface in a vertical cylindrical vessel subjected to a sinusoidal vertical motion. The computational method used is based on the simplified marker-and-cell method and i...

Energy and structure of inertial range turbulence deduced from an evolution of fluid impulse. (2002)
Journal Article
Summers, D. M., & Summers, D. (2002). Energy and structure of inertial range turbulence deduced from an evolution of fluid impulse. Physical review. E, Statistical physics, plasmas, fluids, and related interdisciplinary topics, 65(3), 0363141-0363149. https://doi.org/10.1103/PhysRevE.65.036314

We explore numerically a very simple idea that may provide a material explanation for inertial range turbulence. We base a Lagrangian model of viscous incompressible fluid flow on an evolving ensemble of vortex doublet sheets. Initially these are ran...

Impulse exchange at the surface of the ocean and the fractal dimension of drifter trajectories. (2002)
Journal Article

An impulse-based model is developed to represent a coupling between turbulent flow in the atmosphere and turbulent flow in the ocean. In particular, it is argued that the atmosphere flowing horizontally over the ocean surface generates a velocity flu...
