Effects of vorticity field traces of an ovoid object in a uniform water body on the infrared characteristics of the water surface

CA Wang, Y Li, XS Wang - Ocean Engineering, 2024 - Elsevier
Underwater movement of objects can generate hydrodynamic and thermal wakes. Inverting
these wake signals can provide information about underwater vehicles, making it essential …

Viscous and turbulent stress measurements above and below laboratory wind waves

J Tenhaus, MP Buckley, S Matt, IB Savelyev - Experiments in Fluids, 2024 - Springer
The influence of wind stress, wind drift, and wind-wave (microscale) breaking on the coupled
air–sea boundary layer is poorly understood. We performed high-resolution planar and …

Natural slicks on Lake Geneva: From small-scale effects to large-scale formation and distribution

M Foroughan - 2023 - infoscience.epfl.ch
Abstract Low wind speeds (< 4 m/s) are ubiquitous in many water bodies, yet the physical
processes occurring at the air-water interface in this range are poorly understood. A notable …
