Tidal currents are predominant in coastal areas, causing the generation of vortices at different scales. We reproduce the main process of vortex shedding generated in tidal systems with inlets and channels using a laboratory large-scale model. A filter-space technique is implemented to analyze nonlinear energy/ enstrophy transfer rates and map...

We report the results of a series of numerical simulations performed with the aim to describe the dispersion of heavy particles transported by sea waves. Recent studies investigated the interplay between the wave Stokes drift and the inertial character of negatively buoyant particles that, ultimately, yields an augmented settling velocity. Our...

We report the results of an extensive experimental campaign dedicated to the analysis of turbulent dispersion owing to the circulations in tidal environments, characterized by a tidal inlet and a channel with lateral tidal flats. We focus on weakly-convergent and weakly-dissipative estuaries or tidal embankments, where the internal waters...

Purpose: To assess the fluidics of 23-gauge (G) large-port (L) and tear drop-port (TD) hypersonic vitrectomy probes (HVPs) compared with guillotine vitrectomy probes (GVPs) of various calibers (23G, 25G, and 27G) and geometries (single and double blades). Also, to identify theworking parameters that provide the best balance between acceleration...
