Contaminants, nutrients and sediment particles flow into our inland and coastal water bodies often forming turbulent jets. Some examples are outflows from rivers, sources and discharges entering (...)
Environmental and geophysical flows, including dense bottom gravity currents in the ocean and buoyancy-driven exchange flows in marginal seas, are strongly controlled by topographic features. (...)
Note : all of these research activities are carried out under the European project ERC WATU.
Most of geo and astrophysical flows are turbulent and affected by background stratification, i.e. the (...)
The potential collapse of the Antarctic Ice Sheet in a future, warmer climate and the consequent dramatic rise in sea level would cause flooding of large, densely populated areas. The Fifth (...)
Strongly stratified turbulence is a possible interpretation of oceanic and atmospheric measurements.
However, this regime has never been produced in a laboratory experiment because of the two (...)
Les couplages non-linéaires entre ondes permettent le développement d’un régime turbulent. C’est notamment le cas pour les ondes à la surface de l’océan qui peuvent ainsi avoir un spectre très large et (...)
New theoretical analyses and numerical computations have shown that regions of the continental shelf where the offshore shelf profile changes significantly can be sources of coastal eddies and (...)
The project aims at understanding how rapid vorticity annihilation takes place across a sharp vortical interface at high Reynolds numbers. In order to characterize this process, two distinct yet (...)
There are two main comparable sources of the energy to the deep ocean : winds and tides. However, the most efficient mechanism that transfers wind energy to the deep ocean is still debated. We (...)
Dense buoyancy-driven flows in channels are the main transport pathway between shallow slope regions and the deep sea. In higher latitudes these stratified flows are known to be strongly affected (...)
