As a long-standing problem in climate models, large positive shortwave radiation biases
exist at the surface over the Southern Ocean, impacting the accurate simulation of sea …

This study uses theory and numerical simulations to analyze the nondimensional spreading
rate α (change in radius with height) of buoyant thermals as they rise and entrain …

Shallow convective clouds play a crucial role in Earth's energy budget, as they modulate the
radiative transfer in the atmosphere and participate in the vertical transport of aerosols …

This study examines dynamic pressure drag on rising dry buoyant thermals. A theoretical
expression for drag coefficient C d as a function of several other nondimensional parameters …

This study examines entrainment, detrainment, and dilution of dry and moist (cloud)
atmospheric thermals in large-eddy simulations. In a neutrally stable environment (with …

Ahigh–resolution simulation of a thermal vortex ring is analyzed from the point of view of the
vortex dynamics. A power–spectrum analysis of vortex ring sections suggests that the …

We experimentally investigate the early-stage scalar mixing and transport with solvent
exchange in a quasi-two-dimensional (quasi-2D) jet. We inject an ethanol/oil mixture …

We study, using direct numerical simulation, the characteristics of an off-source heated jet
(OSHJ), the rate of heat addition being proportional to the local concentration of a scalar …

To predict weather and climate patterns, meteorologists use computationally intensive
general circulation models (GCMs). These models work by solving equations describing …
