Back Collaborative Research: Fingering Convection at Low Prandtl Number

Fiscal Year 2010
Division Graduate School of Engineering & Applied Science
Department Oceanography
Investigator(s) Radko, Timour
Sponsor National Science Foundation (NSF)
Summary Conduct numerical simulation of double-diffusive convection, a major mixing process in the Earth's oceans and in the interior of several giant planets. Inferences from the theory and model runs will be used to formulate a parameterization scheme for the Oceanic General Circulation Models. The proposed work will foster partnerships between UCSC and NPS..
