Microplastic pollution is an environmental problem facing rivers, oceans, and coastlines. Estimations suggest that around 1.15 to 12.7 million tonnes of plastic waste enter the ocean every year from the global riverine system. In the environment, org...

The effect of Schmidt number on gravity current flows: The formation of large-scale three-dimensional structures (2021)
Journal Article
Marshall, C. R., Dorrell, R. M., Dutta, S., Keevil, G. M., Peakall, J., & Tobias, S. M. (2021). The effect of Schmidt number on gravity current flows: The formation of large-scale three-dimensional structures. Physics of Fluids, 33(10), Article 106601. https://doi.org/10.1063/5.0064386

The Schmidt number, defined as the ratio of scalar to momentum diffusivity, varies by multiple orders of magnitude in real-world flows, with large differences in scalar diffusivity between temperature, solute, and sediment driven flows. This is espec... Read More about The effect of Schmidt number on gravity current flows: The formation of large-scale three-dimensional structures.

Observations of large-scale coherent structures in gravity currents: implications for flow dynamics (2021)
Journal Article

Density driven flows, also known as gravity currents, comprise a head, body, and tail. Yet whilst the body typically forms the largest part of such flows, its structure remains poorly understood. In this work, experimental data gathered using particl... Read More about Observations of large-scale coherent structures in gravity currents: implications for flow dynamics.
