Ice-covered freshwater-lakes: natural laboratories for investigation of buoyancy flows

Ecology

Convection driven by gravitational instability is a widespread phenomenon in the geophysical fluid dynamics, dynamics of stars and planetary interiors. In contrast to the quasi-homogeneous small-scale turbulence, convection is distinguished by the cell-like coherent structure of the flow. Absence of … Continue reading →
